CONDITION
  • A power voltage of 5 V is supplied from the engine-A/T-ECU (terminal No. 46) to the manifold absolute pressure sensor power terminal (terminal No. 3) and is grounded from the MDP sensor (terminal No. 2) to the engine-A/T-ECU (terminal No. 57).
  • The sensor signal is input from the manifold absolute pressure sensor output terminal (terminal No. 1) to the engine-A/T-ECU (terminal No. 91).
FUNCTION
  • The Manifold absolute pressure sensor detects the internal pressure of the intake manifold by opening and closing the EGR valve for self diagnosis of the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system.
  • In addition to making corrections to the fuel injection volume in accordance with this signal, the engine-A/T-ECU also monitors the operation of the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system.
PROBABLE CAUSE
  • Failed manifold absolute pressure sensor
  • Open/short circuit in manifold absolute pressure sensor circuit or loose connector contact
  • Failed engine-A/T-ECU
