Test Notes

SIGNAL FUNCTIONS
The Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor is a variable capacitance sensor that, when supplied with a 5-volt reference signal from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), produces a digital frequency signal that indicates pressure.

Smoke Control - The MAP signal is used to control smoke by limiting fuel quantity during acceleration until a specified boost pressure is obtained.

Dynamic Injection Timing - Optimizes injection timing for boost pressure measured.

MAP Sensor Values:

FAULT DETECTION/MANAGEMENT
A MAP signal that is detected by the PCM to be out of range or at an incorrect value for specific conditions will cause the PCM to ignore the MAP signal and operate the engine from an inferred boost pressure signal.
