Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 9 other vehicles, including the 2018 Ford Transit-350 HD, 2018 Ford Transit-350, 2018 Ford Transit-250, 2018 Ford Transit-150, and 2018 Ford F-550 Super Duty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The MAP sensor is a variable capacitor sensor that is supplied a 5 volt reference signal by the PCM and returns a voltage signal to the PCM relative to the intake manifold pressure. The sensor voltage increases as the pressure increases. The MAP sensor allows the PCM to determine the engine boost to calculate fuel quantity. In addition, the MAP sensor signal is used by the PCM for EGR system calculations and control.
