DTC P0106: Manifold Absolute Pressure Circuit Range/Performance Problem

Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor Circuit:

CIRCUIT OPERATION
- A 5-volt voltage is supplied to the manifold absolute pressure sensor power terminal (terminal No.3) from the ECM (terminal No.42). The ground terminal (terminal No.2) is grounded with the ECM (terminal No.49).
- A voltage that is proportional to the intake manifold pressure is sent to the ECM (terminal No.92) from the manifold absolute pressure sensor output terminal (terminal No.1).

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
- The manifold absolute pressure sensor outputs a voltage which corresponds to the intake manifold pressure.
- The ECM checks whether this voltage is within a specified range.

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS
Compare load value with manifold absolute pressure sensor output voltage.

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:
- MB991958: Scan Tool (M.U.T.-III Sub Assembly)
- MB991824: V.C.I.
- MB991827: USB Cable
- MB991911: Main Harness B

STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, check data list item 95: Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor.

CAUTION: To prevent damage to scan tool MB991958, always turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before connecting or disconnecting scan tool MB991958.

1. Connect scan tool MB991958 to the data link connector.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
3. Set scan tool MB991958 to the data reading mode for item 95, Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor.
- When altitude is 0 m (0 foot), 101 kPa (29.8 in.Hg).
- When altitude is 600 m (1,969 feet), 95 kPa (28.1 in.Hg).
- When altitude is 1,200 m (3,937 feet), 88 kPa (26.0 in.Hg).
- When altitude is 1,800 m (5,906 feet), 81 kPa (23.9 in.Hg).

4. Start the engine.
- When the engine is idling, 31 - 45 kPa (9.1 - 13.2 in.Hg).
- When the engine is suddenly revved, manifold absolute pressure increases.

5. Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q: Is the sensor operating properly?

- Voltage should be between 4.8 and 5.2 volts.

4. Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q: Is the measured voltage between 4.8 and 5.2 volts?

YES: Go to Step 4.

NO: Go to Step 5.

STEP 4. Check harness connector B-125 at the manifold absolute pressure sensor and connector C-119 at ECM for damage.

Q: Is the connector in good condition?

YES: Repair harness wire between manifold absolute pressure sensor connector B-125 (terminal No.3) and ECM connector C-119 (terminal No.42) because of harness damage. Then go to Step 12.

STEP 6. Measure the ground voltage at manifold absolute pressure sensor connector B-125 by backprobing.

1. Do not disconnect the connector B-125.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.

3. Measure the voltage between terminal No.2 and ground by backprobing.
- Voltage should be 0.5 volt or less.

4. Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q: Is the measured voltage 0.5 volt or less?

YES: Go to Step 9.
