CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor measures the change in the intake manifold pressure. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) provides a 5 volt reference signal to the MAP sensor. The change in the pressure that results from engine load and RPM changes is converted into a voltage signal that is monitored by the PCM. By monitoring the sensor output voltage, the PCM can detect a change in the manifold pressure.

CONDITION FOR RUNNING THE DTC
^ The Engine Coolant Temperature is between -8°C and +110°C (18°F-230°F).
^ The Intake Air Temperature is more than 5°C (41°F).
^ The engine is running.

CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC
^ The Throttle Position is less than 10 degrees.
^ The signal voltage is more than 4.6 volts.

OR

^ The Throttle Position is more than 5 degrees.
^ The signal voltage is less than 0.2 volts.

ACTION TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS
^ The PCM illuminates the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) after 2 consecutive ignition cycles in which the diagnostic runs with the fault active.
^ The PCM records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. This information is stored in the Freeze Frame buffer.

CONDITIONS FOR CLEARING THE MIL/DTC
^ The MIL turns off after 3 consecutively passing trips without a fault present.
^ A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles without a fault.
^ Perform the scan tool Clear DTC Information function.

DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
If a DTC P1408 is intermittent, driving the vehicle under the following conditions can verify whether the fault is present. Perform the scan tool Clear DTC Information function. Road test the vehicle while monitoring the DTC P1408 diagnostic on the scan tool under the Not Ran Since Code Cleared selection in the DTC Information menu. If DTC P1408 appears in the Not Ran Since Code Cleared list, the P1408 diagnostic has not yet run. When DTC P1408 does not appear in the Not Ran Since Code Cleared list, the P1408 diagnostic has run. If the MIL is NOT illuminated, and there is no Pending DTC Status in DTC Information, the P1408 diagnostic has passed. The DTCs MUST be cleared in order to view the Current Status of the Not Ran Since Code Cleared list. DO NOT forget that the Not Ran Since Code Cleared list only indicates that the test has run, not whether the test passed or failed. The DTC Information screen must be checked for Current or Pending status in order to determine the outcome of the diagnostic test involved.

An intermittent malfunction may be caused by a fault in the MAP sensor circuit. Inspect the wiring harness and the components for any of the following conditions:
^ Any backed-out terminals
^ Any improper mating of terminals
^ Any broken electrical connector locks
^ Any improperly formed or damaged terminals
^ Any faulty terminal-to-wire connections
^ Any physical damage to the wiring harness
^ A broken wire inside the insulation
^ Any corrosion of the electrical connections, the splices, or the terminals

If the DTC P1408 cannot be duplicated, the information included in the Freeze Frame data can be useful in determining the vehicle operating conditions when the DTC was first set.

TEST DESCRIPTION
The numbers below refer to the step numbers in the diagnostic table.
1. The Powertrain (OBD) System Check prompts the technician to complete some basic checks and store the Freeze Frame data on the scan tool if applicable. This creates an electronic copy of the data taken when the fault occurred. The information is then stored in the scan tool for later reference.
3. Review the Freeze Frame data to determine when the DTC set. Always record this information.
7. This step checks the MAP sensor calibration.
