P0108-MANIFOLD ABSOLUTE PRESSURE SENSOR CIRCUIT HIGH





For a complete wiring diagram, refer to the Wiring Information.

Theory of Operation

The Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor is a transducer that varies resistance according to changes in altitude and atmospheric conditions. The MAP reading gives the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) an indication of the current air pressure within the intake manifold. The PCM uses this information to calculate fuel delivery. The MAP sensor has a 5 Volt reference circuit, a low reference circuit and a signal circuit. The PCM supplies 5 Volts to the MAP sensor on a 5 Volt reference circuit and provides a ground on a low reference circuit. The MAP sensor provides a voltage signal to the PCM on a signal circuit relative to the pressure changes.

- When Monitored:
With the ignition on and battery voltage greater than 10.4 volts.

- Set Condition:
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) detects that the Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor input voltage is above the maximum acceptable value.





Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting Procedure.

1. DTC IS ACTIVE
1. Start the engine and allow it to reach normal operating temperature.

WARNING: When the engine is operating, do not stand in direct line with the fan. Do not put your hands near the pulleys, belts or fan. Do not wear loose clothing. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.

2. With the scan tool, select View DTCs.
