Circuit/System Description

The MAP sensor has a 5V reference circuit, a low reference circuit, and a signal circuit. The engine control module (ECM) supplies 5V to the MAP sensor on a 5V reference circuit, and provides a ground on a low reference circuit. The MAP sensor provides a voltage signal to the ECM on a signal circuit relative to the intake manifold pressure changes.

Conditions for Running the DTC

P0107

    • DTCs P0120, P0121, P0122, P0123, P0220, P0222, P0223, P0641, P0651 or P2135 are not set.
    • The engine is running greater than or equal to 400 RPM.
    • The throttle position is greater than or equal to 0 percent when the engine speed is less than or equal to 1,000 RPM.
        OR
    • The throttle position is greater than or equal to 12.5 percent when the engine speed is greater than 1,000 RPM.
    • The DTC runs continuously when the above conditions are met.

P0108

    • The engine has been running for a length of time that is determined by the start-up coolant temperature. The length of time ranges from 5.5 minutes at colder than -30°C (-22°F) to 10 seconds at greater than +30°C (+86°F).
    • DTCs P0120, P0121, P0122, P0123, P0220, P0222, P0223, or P2135 are not set.
    • The throttle position is less than or equal to one percent when the engine speed is less than or equal to 1,200 RPM.
        OR
    • The throttle position is less than or equal to 20 percent when the engine speed is greater than 1,200 RPM.
    • The DTC runs continuously when the above conditions are met.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

P0107

The ECM detects that the MAP sensor voltage is less than 0.05V for greater than 5 seconds.

P0108

The ECM detects that the MAP sensor voltage is more than 4.9V for greater than 5 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

DTCs P0107 and P0108 are Type B DTCs.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

DTCs P0107 and P0108 are Type B DTCs.

Circuit/System Verification

  1. Verify that the following DTCs are not set: P0641 or P0651.
  2. If any of the DTCs are set, refer to DTC P0641 or P0651.
  3. Ignition ON, observe the MAP Sensor parameter. The reading should be between 0.05-4.9V.
  4. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.

Circuit/System Testing

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the MAP sensor.
  2. Ignition OFF for 90 seconds, test for less than 5 Ω between the low reference circuit terminal 2 and ground.
  3. If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
  4. Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2V between the 5V reference circuit terminal 1 and ground.
  5. If less than the specified range, test the 5V reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
    If greater than the specified range, test the 5V reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
  6. Verify the scan tool MAP Sensor parameter is less than 2 kPa.
  7. If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit terminal 3 for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
  8. Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 3 and the 5V reference circuit terminal 1. Verify the scan tool MAP Sensor parameter is greater than 126 kPa.
  9. If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
  10. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the MAP sensor.

Component Testing

Note: You must perform the Circuit/System Testing before proceeding with the Component Testing.

  1. Ignition OFF, remove the MAP sensor.
  2. Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the 5V reference circuit terminal 1 and the corresponding terminal of the MAP sensor.
  3. Install a jumper wire between the low reference circuit terminal 2 of the MAP sensor and ground.
  4. Install a jumper wire at terminal 3 of the MAP sensor.
  5. Connect a DMM between the jumper wire from terminal 3 of the MAP sensor and ground.
  6. Ignition ON, with the J 23738-A or J 35555 slowly apply vacuum to the sensor while observing the voltage on the DMM. The voltage should vary between 0-5.2V, without any spikes or dropouts.
  7. If the voltage reading is erratic, replace the MAP sensor.
