DTC P0068: Manifold Pressure Sensor Range/Performance

  1. OUTLINE OF DIAGNOSIS 

    Detect the malfunction of intake manifold pressure sensor output property.

    Judge NG when the intake manifold pressure is small (voltage is low) regardless of the driving situation that the intake manifold pressure may be thought larger than engine speed and throttle opening. (Low side) On the other hand, judge NG when the intake manifold pressure is large (voltage is high) regardless of the driving situation that the intake manifold pressure may be thought smaller than engine speed and throttle opening. (High side)

  3. ENABLE CONDITION 
    ENABLE CONDITIONS

    Secondary Parameters Enable Conditions
    Engine coolant temperature "GREATER THAN EQUAL TO" 75°C (167°F)
  4. GENERAL DRIVING CYCLE 

    Perform the diagnosis continuously after idling.

  5. DIAGNOSTIC METHOD 
    • Abnormality Judgment 

      Judge NG when the continuous time of completing all the malfunction criteria of Low side or High side below becomes more than the time (3 seconds) needed for diagnosis.

      Judgment Value 

      JUDGMENT VALUE (ABNORMALITY JUDGMENT)

      Malfunction Criteria Threshold Value
      (Low side)
      Engine speed
      Throttle position
      Output voltage
      > 2,500 rpm
      > 15°
      "LESS THAN EQUAL TO" 0.985 V
      (High side)
      Engine speed
      Throttle position
      Output voltage
      600 <---> 900 rpm
      "LESS THAN EQUAL TO" 2°
      > 2.81 V

      Time Needed for Diagnosis:  3 seconds

      Malfunction Indicator Light Illumination:  Illuminates when malfunction occurs in 2 continuous driving cycles.

    • Normality Judgment 

      Judge OK and clear the NG when all the malfunction criteria of Low side or High side are completed.

      Judgment Value 

      JUDGMENT VALUE (NORMALITY JUDGMENT)

      Malfunction Criteria Threshold Value
      (Low side)
      Engine speed

      Output voltage
      > 2,500 rpm
      > 15°
      > 0.985 V
      (High side)
      Engine speed
      Throttle position
      Output voltage
      600 <--> 900 rpm
      "LESS THAN EQUAL TO" 2°
      "LESS THAN EQUAL TO" 2.81 V
  6. DTC CLEAR CONDITION 
    • When the OK idling cycle is completed 40 times in a row
    • When "Clear Memory" was performed
  7. MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT CLEAR CONDITION 
    • When the OK driving cycle is completed 3 times in a row
    • When "Clear Memory" was performed
  8. FAIL SAFE 

    None

  9. ECM OPERATION AT DTC SETTING 

    Memorize the freeze frame data. (For test mode $02)
