The amount of intake air
flow must be inputted to PCM in order to determine the fuel injection
quantity. To measure the pressure inside of intake manifold, MAFS is used
at idle and MAPS is required during acceleration. MAPS(Manifold Absolute
Pressure) calculates the amount of air indirectly as measuring the
pressure inside of intake manifold. This mechanism is also called
Speed-Density Type.MAPS transfers analog output signal which is
proportional to the change of intake manifold pressure, then, with this
signal and RPM, PCM calculates the amount of intake air flow. MAPS is
mounted on surge tank to measure the pressure inside of intake manifold,
and it consists of a piezo electric element and hybrid IC which amplifies
output signal from the element. A piezo electric element is a sort of a
diaphragm using piezo electric effect. One side of the diaphragm is
surrounded with vacuum chamber while intake pressure is applied to the
other side. Thus, signals are output by the transformation of diaphragm
according to the change of pressure inside of intake
manifold.
If the signal output of
MAP sensor is stuck under enable conditions, PCM determines that a fault
exists and a DTC is stored. MIL(Malfunction Indication Lamp) turns on when
the malfunction lasts till consecutive 2 driving cycle.

It is necessary that
MAPS should be checked along with TPS. Because The MAP/TPS Rationality
Diagnostic is comprised of two tests. A deceleration test is performed to
provide a robust method for detection of an altitude compensated MAP value
that is too high for the deceleration condition. The second test compares
the altitude compensated MAP value to both high and low limits, dependent
upon throttle position and engine speed. When the MAP value is out of the
threshold range, the MAP/TPS system is determined to be
failed.
1. |
Check DTC Status
(1) |
Connect scantool to Data Link
Connector(DLC). |
(3) |
Select "DTC" button, and then Press "DTC
Status" to check DTC's information from the DTCs
menu. |
(4) |
Read "DTC Status"
parameter.

|
(5) |
Is parameter displayed "Present
fault"?

|
▶ Go
to "Component Inspection" procedure.
|

|
▶
Fault is intermittent caused by PCM memory was not
cleared after repair. Erase DTC and drive the vehicle to
satisfy the enable condition then,go to " Component
Inspection"
procedure.
|
| |
1. |
Check MAPS Performance
(1) |
IG "OFF" and install
scantool. |
(2) |
Connect probe to MAPS and TPS to check
signal waveform by using oscilloscope
function. |
(3) |
ENG "ON" and monitor signal waveform
during acceleration and deceleration.

|
▶ Go
to "Verification of Vehicle Repair"
procedure.
|

|
▶
Substitute with a known - good MAPS and check for proper
operation. If the problem is corrected, replace MAPS and
go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair"
procedure.
|

Verification Of Vehicle
Repair |
After a repair, it is
essential to verify that the fault has been corrected.
1. |
Connect scantool and select "DTC"
button. |
2. |
Press "DTC Status" button and confirm that
"DTC Readiness Flag" indicates "Completed". If not, drive the
vehicle within conditions noted in the freeze frame data or enable
conditions |
3. |
Read "DTC Status"
parameter |
4. |
Is parameter displayed "History(Not Present)
fault"?

|
▶ System
performing to specification at this time. Clear the
DTC
|

|
▶ Go to the
applicable troubleshooting
procedure.
