DTC P0106:  Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Range/Performance Problem

General Description

The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor, barometric pressure (BARO) sensor, and leak detection module absolute pressure sensor all measure BARO when the engine is stopped. All three sensor outputs are compared to detect malfunction. If all three sensors are within an acceptable range of each other, then conditions are normal. If any of the three sensors are out of range, then the out of range sensor is judged as abnormal. When a DTC is set, use these values to determine the abnormal sensor. When the engine is running, the sensor value from the MAP sensor is compared to the estimated manifold absolute pressure (based on engine speed, and the sensor value from the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS)), as well as the BARO sensor. If any of these three values are out of range, the powertrain control module (PCM) detects a malfunction and stores a DTC.

Possible Cause 

NOTE: The causes shown may not be a complete list of all potential problems, and it is possible that there may be other causes.
  • MAP sensor range/performance problem
  • BARO sensor range/performance problem
  • Leak detection module absolute pressure sensor range/performance problem
  • Purge control solenoid failure
  • Air cleaner element clogged
  • Valve timing incorrect
  • Throttle body air leak
  • Intake manifold air leak
  • Vacuum hose fail

Confirmation Procedure 

Operating Condition 

  1. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode, and wait 4.1 seconds.
  2. Enter the maintenance mode, then start the engine. Hold the engine speed [Engine Speed] at 3, 000 RPM without load (in P or N) until the radiator fan comes on.
  3. Engine speed [Engine Speed] at 1, 100 RPM or more (in N) for at least 5 seconds.
  4. Drive immediately at a steady speed of 40 mph (60 km/h) or more and engine speed [Engine Speed] between 1, 100 - 5, 500 RPM for at least 5 seconds.

With the HDS 

None.

Diagnosis Details 

Conditions for setting the DTC 

When a malfunction is detected during the first drive cycle, a Pending DTC is stored in the PCM memory. If the malfunction returns in the next (second) drive cycle, the MIL comes on and a Confirmed DTC and the freeze data are stored.

Conditions for clearing the DTC 

The MIL is cleared if the malfunction does not return in three consecutive trips in which the diagnostic runs. The MIL, the Pending DTC, the Confirmed DTC, and the freeze data can be cleared with the scan tool Clear command or by disconnecting the 12 volt battery.
