Test NTC-8: Checking Map Sensor Operation

Ensure engine is off. Install vacuum "T" fitting and vacuum gauge at vacuum source on intake manifold. Start engine and allow engine to idle. If engine will not idle, maintain a constant RPM greater than idle. Note engine vacuum on vacuum gauge. Using scan tool, read Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor vacuum. If MAP sensor vacuum is within one in. Hg of engine vacuum on vacuum gauge, MAP sensor is operating properly. Test is complete. If MAP sensor vacuum is not within one in. Hg of engine vacuum on vacuum gauge, replace MAP sensor. See Figure. Perform TEST VER-5A .
