Circuit/System Testing

IMPORTANT: All electrical components and accessories must be turned OFF and allowed to power down.
  1. Verify the integrity of the air induction system by inspecting for the following conditions:
    • Any damaged components
    • Loose or improper installation
    • Improperly routed vacuum hoses
    • Any vacuum leak
    • Any type of restriction
    • MAP sensor seal that is missing or damaged
  2. Verify that restrictions do not exist in the MAP sensor vacuum source.
  3. Verify that restrictions do not exist in the exhaust system. Refer to Restricted Exhaust .
  4. Ignition OFF, disconnect the MAP harness connector at the MAP sensor.
  5. Ignition OFF for 90 seconds, test for less than 5 ohms between the low reference circuit and ground.
    • If greater than the specified value, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
  6. Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 volts between the 5-volt reference circuit and ground.
    • If less than the specified range, test the 5-volt reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the 5-volt reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
  7. Verify the scan tool MAP Sensor parameter is less than 12 kPa.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
  8. Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit and the 5-volt reference circuit. Verify the scan tool MAP Sensor parameter is greater than 103 kPa.
    • If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
  9. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the MAP sensor.
