Manifold Pressure/Vacuum Sensor: Testing and Inspection

Open/Shorted MAP Sensor Circuit:

Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor:

Component Failure Conditions
DTC 31 will set if either of the following conditions are met for at least 0.5 seconds:

(1) Voltage input at the ECM indicates very low manifold pressure.

(2) Voltage input at the ECM indicates very high manifold pressure.

Test Description:
Numbers below refer to circled numbers on the diagnostic chart.

1. This checks for an open or short to ground in the YEL wire between the ECM and MAP sensor.

2. This checks for an open in the LT GRN/RED wire between the ECM and MAP sensor.

3. This checks for an open in the BRN wire between the ECM and MAP sensor, and for a faulty ECM or MAP sensor.

Diagnostic Aids:
If DTCs 22, 24 and 41 are also set, problem is open sensor ground circuit. An intermittent may be caused by a poor connection, rubbed through wire insulation, or a wire broken inside the insulation. Inspect harness connectors for backed out terminals, improper mating, broken locks, improperly formed or damaged terminals and poor terminal-to-wire connections before component replacement.
