MAP (Manifold Absolute Pressure)
Sensor
MAP sensor
The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor is a
pressure sensitive variable resistor. It measures
changes in the intake manifold pressure which result
from engine load and speed changes, and converts
this to a voltage output. The MAP sensor is also
used to measure barometric pressure at start up,
and under certain conditions, allows the ECM to
automatically adjust for different altitudes. The ECM
supplies 5 volts to the MAP sensor and monitors the
ECM supplies 5 volts to the MAP sensor and
monitors the voltage on a signal line. The sensor
provides a path to voltage on a signal line. The
sensor provides a path to ground through its
variable resistor. The MAP sensor in put affects fuel
delivery and ignition timing controls in the ECM.

Sensor Inspection
1. Measure the voltage between terminals 1 and 4 of
the MAP sensor connectors.
Terminal 4 : MAP sensor ground
Terminal 1 : MAP sensor output
Engine state Test specification
Ignition SW. ON 4~5V
At idle 0.5~2.0V
2. If the voltage deviates from the standard value,
replace the MAP sensor assembly.
Removal
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Disconnect the electrical connector from the
MAP/MAT sensor.
3. Remove the two screws retaining the MAP/MAT
sensor to the intake manifold.
4. Remove MAP/MAT sensor.
Installation
1. Place the MAP/MAT Sensor in position on the
intake manifold and install the two retaining
screws. Tighten retaining screws to 6 N m◦ (53
lbf ft)
2. Connect the electrical connector to the
MAP/MAT sensor. Verify that the connector
clicks/locks into place.
3. Connect the negative battery cable.
