P1187-THROTTLE INLET PRESSURE/MAP CORRELATION





For a complete wiring diagram Consult Diagrams/Electrical.

- When Monitored:
Ignition on.

- Set Condition:
The PCM compares the MAP and TIP sensor with the ignition on. If the sensors are not close in value a failure is recorded. The MAP and TIP should be within the range of 56kPa and 112 kPa with the ignition on. Two trip failure.





Diagnostic Test

1. COMPARING MAP AND TIP
Turn the ignition on.
Using the scan tool, monitor both the MAP and TIP kPa.
