DTC P0106: Manifold Absolute Pressure (Map/BARO) Sensor Range/Performance

2011 Mercury Mariner Premier, 2.5 7, AWDSECTION DTC P0106: Manifold Absolute Pressure (Map/BARO) Sensor Range/Performance
P0106 - MANIFOLD ABSOLUTE PRESSURE (MAP/BARO) SENSOR RANGE/PERFORMANCE

For Vehicles With 3.5L GTDI Engine 
Description:  The powertrain control module (PCM) continuously monitors this sensor for concerns. This DTC sets when the manifold absolute pressure (MAP) PID does not correlate with the barometric pressure (BARO) or the throttle intake pressure (TIP_PRS_BOOST) PIDs at ignition ON. It will also set if the MAP and TIP_PRS_BOOST PIDs fail to correlate when running and the TIP_PRS_BOOST PID does not correlate with the BARO PID at idle.
Possible Causes: 
  • Slow responding manifold absolute pressure (MAP)/intake air temperature 2 (IAT2) sensor
  • Damaged MAP/IAT2 sensor
Diagnostic Aids:  The VREF voltage should be between 4.0 and 6.0 volts.
For All Others 
Description:  MAP sensor input to the powertrain control module (PCM) is monitored and is not within the calibrated value.
Possible Causes: 
  • Slow responding MAP sensor
  • Damaged MAP sensor
Diagnostic Aids:  The VREF voltage should be between 4.0 and 6.0 volts.

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
