- Using the following steps and referencing the table below will determine if the MAP sensor is skewed.
- Ignition ON, engine OFF, observe the MAP sensor scan tool parameter.
- Use the observed MAP Sensor Scan Tool parameter that is closest to a value that is indicated in the first column.
THEN
- Using the J-23738-A or the J-35555 to apply 5 in Hg of vacuum to the MAP sensor, the parameter in the first column should decrease by 17 kPa. The acceptable range is indicated in the second column.
- Using the J-23738-A or the J-35555 to apply 10 in Hg of vacuum to the MAP sensor, the parameter in the first column should decrease by 34 kPa. The acceptable range is indicated in the third column.
| Ignition ON, Engine OFF, MAP Sensor Parameter | MAP Sensor Parameter With 5 Inches of Vacuum Applied | MAP Sensor Parameter With 10 Inches of Vacuum Applied |
|---|---|---|
| 100 kPa | 79-87 kPa | 62-70 kPa |
| 95 kPa | 74-82 kPa | 57-65 kPa |
| 90 kPa | 69-77 kPa | 52-60 kPa |
| 80 kPa | 59-67 kPa | 42-50 kPa |
| 70 kPa | 49-57 kPa | 32-40 kPa |
| 80 kPa | 39-47 kPa | 22-30 kPa |

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.
