Manifold Absolute Pressure (Map) Sensor Inspection [L3 With TC]: Notes

2008 Mazda CX-7 Touring, 2.3 3, AWDSECTION Notes
NOTE:
  • Perform the following inspection only when directed.
  • The following vacuum values are indicated by relative pressure from the MAP sensor.
  1. Connect the M-MDS to the DLC-2.
  2. Turn the ignition switch to ON (Engine off).
  3. Select MAP PID on the M-MDS.
  4. Verify that the MAP PID (pressure) and barometric pressure are practically equal.
    • If not as verified, perform the "Circuit Open/Short Inspection".
      • If there is no open or short circuit, replace the MAP sensor.
    • If as verified, go to next step.
