Circuit Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1996 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight and 1996 Buick Park Avenue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor measures changes in intake manifold pressure (vacuum). A low voltage signal, 2 volts, is sent to PCM on signal circuit at closed throttle (high vacuum). A high voltage signal, 4 volts is sent at wide open throttle (low vacuum). A substantial change in MAP signal should be preceded by a change in throttle position.
