DTC 32

Diagnostic Chart:

MAP Sensor Circuit:

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor measures the change in the intake manifold pressure (vacuum). The Engine Control Module (ECM) applies a 5 volt to the MAP sensor. The change in the pressure, that results from engine load and rpm changes, is converted into a voltage input that is monitored by the ECM. A low voltage reading at the ECM indicates low manifold pressure, and a high voltage reading at the ECM indicates high manifold pressure.

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) 32 will set if the following condition is met for 0.5 seconds: High voltage input at the ECM indicating intake manifold pressure above 129.8 kPa (974 mm Hg).

DTC CHART TEST DESCRIPTION
Numbers below refer to circled numbers on the diagnostic chart.

1. This step checks the MAP input wire for an open or for a short to voltage or a faulty ECM. Under normal conditions the MAP input wire should carry a little less than 5 volts. A short to 5 volts or B+ will cause DTC 32 to set.
2. This step checks for an open LT GRN/BLK wire, poor connection at the MAP sensor or ECM and for a faulty MAP sensor or ECM.

DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
Check for a leaking vacuum hose to MAP sensor.

INTERMITTENT MALFUNCTIONS
An intermittent malfunction may be caused by a poor connection, rubbed through wire insulation, or a wire broken inside the insulation. Inspect harness connectors for backed out terminals, improper mating, broken locks, improperly formed or damaged terminals and poor terminal-to-wire connections before component replacement.
