- Connect the M-MDS to the DLC-2.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON (Engine off).
- Select MAP PID on the M-MDS.

- If there is no open or short circuit, replace the MAP sensor.
- If as verified, go to next step.
- If not as verified, perform the "Circuit Open/Short Inspection".
- Apply vacuum of -25.0 kPa {-187 mmHg, -7.38 inHg}
to the MAP sensor, and verify that the MAP variation from that of Step 4 is approx. 25.0 kPa {187 mmHg, 7.38 inHg}.
- If not as verified, perform the "Circuit Open/Short inspection".
- If there is no open or short circuit, replace the barometric pressure sensor. (See INTAKE AIR SYSTEM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ).
