1. Hose
In some cars, a hose is used to link the intake manifold and the
MAP sensor. So you should whether the MAP sensor hose is
intact and connected or not. Addition to check the MAP sensor
hose, you also need to check that the port is free of debris and
carbon deposits, which can block the hose and result in wrong
MAP sensor readings.
2. Electrical
Check the wiring and connector. The wiring between the MAP
sensor and ECM should be intact. Chafing could result in short
circuits and breaks could result in open circuits. Similarly, the
connector should be securely connected, and the pins should be
straight and clean. Bent pins and corrosion can cause MAP sensor
signal problems.
3. Sensor
If the sensor is installed correctly, both to the intake manifold and
electrically, use a vacuum gun and a voltage meter or a scan tool to
check MAP sensor output. Then you will have to look up a chart to
mete voltage against full vacuum and no vacuum. If the chart gives
the result which is not similar to the MAP sensor output, it’s time to
replace the sensor.
