DTC P0107: Manifold Absolute Pressure Circuit Low Input
 
 
 
 
CIRCUIT OPERATION
  • A 5-volts voltage is supplied to the manifold absolute pressure sensor power terminal from the ECM terminal MAP5. The ground terminal is grounded with ECM terminal MAPE.
  • A voltage that is proportional to the intake manifold pressure is sent to the ECM terminal MAP from the manifold absolute pressure sensor output terminal.
 
 
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
  • The manifold absolute pressure sensor outputs a voltage which corresponds to the intake manifold pressure.
  • The ECM checks whether this voltage is within a specified range.
 
 
DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS
  • Manifold absolute pressure sensor output voltage is out of specified range.
 
 
MONITOR EXECUTION
  • Continuous

DTC SET CONDITIONS
Logic Flow Chart
Check Conditions
  • 8 minutes or more have passed since the engine starting sequence was completed, when the engine coolant temperature at engine start is 0°C (32°F) or lower.
  • Volumetric efficiency is higher than 20 percent.
Judgment Criterion
  • Manifold absolute pressure sensor output voltage is less than 0.1 volt [corresponding to a manifold absolute pressure of 6.8 kPa (2.0 in.Hg)] for 2 seconds.
 
 
FAIL-SAFE AND BACKUP FUNCTION
  • Estimate the throttle opening degree and the intake manifold pressure given by a normal sensor, and then carry out the fuel control.
  • Intake charge pressure is restricted.
 
 
OBD-II DRIVE CYCLE PATTERN
  • Refer to Diagnostic Function - OBD-II Drive Cycle - Pattern 1 .
 
 
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (The most likely causes for this code to be set are:)
  • Manifold absolute pressure sensor failed.
  • Open or shorted manifold absolute pressure sensor circuit, or connector damage.
  • ECM failed.

 
 
DIAGNOSIS
Required Special Tool:
  • MB991709: Test Harness
STEP 1. Using scan tool (M.U.T.-IIISE), check data list item 8: Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor.
cautionTo prevent damage to scan tool (M.U.T.-IIISE), always turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before connecting or disconnecting scan tool (M.U.T.-IIISE).
(1) Connect scan tool (M.U.T.-IIISE). Refer to HOW TO CONNECT THE SCAN TOOL (M.U.T.-IIISE) .
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Set scan tool (M.U.T.-IIISE) to the data reading mode for item 8, Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor.
  • When altitude is 0 m (0 foot), 101 kPa (29.8 in.Hg).
  • When altitude is 600 m (1,969 feet), 95 kPa (28.1 in.Hg).
  • When altitude is 1,200 m (3,937 feet), 88 kPa (26.0 in.Hg).
  • When altitude is 1,800 m (5,906 feet), 81 kPa (23.9 in.Hg).
(4) Start the engine.
  • When the engine is idling, 27 - 47 kPa (8.0 - 13.9 in.Hg).
  • When the engine is suddenly revved, manifold absolute pressure varies.
(5) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Is the sensor operating properly?
It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent. Refer to GROUP 00, How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions .
Go to Step 2.
 
STEP 2. Measure the sensor supply voltage at manifold absolute pressure sensor connector.
(1) Disconnect the connector and measure at the harness side.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Measure the voltage between terminal MAP5 line and ground.
  • Voltage should be between 4.9 and 5.1 volts.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
