Component Testing: Notes
IMPORTANT:
You must perform the Circuit/System Testing in order to verify the integrity of the MAP sensor circuits before proceeding with the Component Testing.
- Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF, and remove the MAP sensor.
- Ignition ON, observe and record the scan tool MAP sensor pressure parameter. This is the first MAP sensor reading.
- With the J 23738-A or J 35555 apply 5 in Hg (17 kPa) of vacuum to the MAP sensor. Observe and record the scan tool MAP sensor pressure parameter. This is the second MAP sensor reading.
- Subtract the second MAP sensor reading from the first MAP sensor reading. Verify that the vacuum decrease is within 1 in Hg (4 kPa) of the applied vacuum.
- If the vacuum decrease is not within the specified range, replace the MAP sensor.
- With the J 23738-A or J 35555 apply 10 in Hg (34 kPa) of vacuum to the MAP sensor. Observe and record the scan tool MAP sensor pressure parameter. This is the third MAP sensor reading.
- Substract the third MAP sensor reading from the first MAP sensor reading. Verify that the vacuum decrease is within 1 in Hg (4 kPa) of the applied vacuum.
- If the vacuum decrease is not within the specified range, replace the MAP sensor.
