Intake Manifold Sensor -GX9-, Checking

General Description 

Intake manifold pressure and temperature are two factors used for engine load management. They measure the intake air temperature and the intake manifold pressure. The sender is located upstream of the Throttle Valve Control Module -J338- and contains the following senders:

They measure the pressure and temperature of the air in each bank. The values measured here correspond to the actual air mass in each bank.

Note the Intake Manifold Temperature Sensor -G72- / Charge Air Pressure Sensor -G31- is also known as the Intake Manifold Sensor -GX9-.

Special tools and workshop equipment required
