MAP

The scan tool range is 10-105 kPa/ 0.00 to 4.97 Volts. The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor measures the change in the intake manifold pressure from engine load, EGR flow, and speed changes. As intake manifold pressure increases, the intake vacuum decreases resulting in a higher MAP sensor voltage and kPa readings. The MAP sensor signal is used to monitor the intake manifold pressure changes during the EGR flow test, to update the BARO reading and as an enabling factor for many of the diagnostics.
