P1106

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor responds to pressure changes in the intake manifold. The pressure changes occur based on the engine load. The MAP sensor has a 5-volt reference circuit, a low reference circuit, and a signal circuit. The powertrain control module (PCM) supplies 5 volts to the MAP sensor on the 5-volt reference circuit. The PCM also provides a ground on the low reference circuit. The MAP sensor provides a signal to the PCM on the signal circuit that is relative to the pressure changes in the manifold. The PCM should detect a low signal voltage at a low MAP, for example, during an idle or during a deceleration. The PCM should detect a high signal voltage at a high MAP, for example, when the ignition is ON with the engine OFF, or during a wide open throttle (WOT). Certain vehicle models will also use the MAP sensor in order to determine the barometric pressure (BARO). This procedure occurs when the ignition switch is turned ON, with the engine OFF. The BARO reading may also be updated whenever the engine is operated at wide-open throttle (WOT). The PCM monitors the MAP sensor signal for voltage that is outside the normal range.

If the PCM detects a MAP sensor signal voltage that is intermittently high, DTC P1106 will set.

CONDITIONS FOR RUNNING THE DTC
^ DTCs P0121, P0122, or P0123 are not set.
^ The throttle angle is less than 98 percent when engine speed is more than 1000 RPM.

OR

^ The throttle angle is less than 90 percent when engine speed is less than 1000 RPM.

CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC
The MAP sensor voltage is more than 4.5 volts for less than 1 second.

ACTION TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS
^ The control module stores the DTC information into memory when the diagnostic runs and fails.
^ The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) will not illuminate.
^ The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The control module stores this information in the Failure Records.
^ The driver information center, if equipped, may display a message.

CONDITIONS FOR CLEARING THE DTC
^ A current DTC Last Test Failed clears when the diagnostic runs and passes.
^ A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any other non-emission related diagnostic.
^ Clear the DTC with a scan tool.

DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
^ Inspect the MAP sensor vacuum source for leaks, for restrictions, and for poor connections.
^ If the intermittent condition exists, refer to Intermittent Conditions. Intermittent Conditions

TEST DESCRIPTION

Steps 1-3:

Steps 4-14:

The number below refers to the step number on the diagnostic table.
4. Many intermittent open or shorted circuits come and go with harness and/or connector movement that is caused by vibration, by engine torque, and by bumps. This step attempts to recreate this condition.
