Sensor Test

Fig. 50 Map Sensor:

To test the Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor:

CAUTION: When testing the MAP sensor, be sure that the harness wires are not damaged by the test meter probes.

Fig. 61 Sensor Connector Terminals:

1. Test the MAP sensor output voltage at the MAP sensor connector between terminals 1 and 3. With the ignition switch ON and the engine OFF, output voltage should be 4-to-5 volts. The voltage should drop to 1.5-to-2.1 volts with a hot, neutral idle speed condition.
2. Test powertrain control module (PCM) cavity A-27 for the same voltage described above to verify the wire harness condition. Repair as necessary.
3. Test MAP sensor supply voltage at sensor connector between terminals 1 and 2 with the ignition ON. The voltage should be approximately 5 volts (+/-0.5V). Five volts (+/-O.5V) should also be at cavity A-17 of the PCM wire harness connector. Repair or replace the wire harness as necessary.
4. Test the MAP sensor ground circuit at sensor connector terminal-2 and PCM connector A-4. Repair the wire harness if necessary
