Test NTC-6A - Checking Map Sensor Calibration
- Turn engine off. Install vacuum "T" in MAP sensor vacuum hose. Install vacuum gauge. Start engine and let idle. If engine will not idle, maintain a constant RPM above idle. Using DRB, read MAP value. If reading is within one in. Hg of vacuum gauge reading, MAP sensor is functioning properly. Test is complete. If reading is not within one in. Hg of vacuum gauge reading, turn engine off.
- Disconnect vacuum gauge. Connect vacuum pump to MAP sensor. Apply 5 in. Hg of vacuum to MAP sensor. Turn ignition on. Using DRB, read and record MAP sensor voltage. Increase vacuum to 20 in. Hg. Using DRB, read and record MAP sensor voltage. Subtract 20 in. Hg voltage reading from 5 in. Hg voltage reading. If difference in voltage is 2.3-2.9 volts, repair restriction in MAP sensor vacuum hose. Perform TEST VER-2. If difference in voltage is not 2.3-2.9 volts, replace MAP sensor. Perform TEST VER-2.
