Fuel System > Engine Control System > P0109 Manifold Absolute Pressure/Barometric Pressure Circuit Intermittent

Component Location

General Description

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 at accelerating. MAPS(Manifold Absolute Pressure) calculates the amount of air indirectly as measuring the pressure inside of intake manifold. This mechanism is alsl 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 diagphragm according to the change of pressure inside of intake manifold.

DTC Description

PCM compares the difference between MAPS output and calculated MAPS value while enable condition ismet. If the acutal MAP value or lower than calculated(threshold) value for 2 minfailure during tip in-out driving,PCM determines that a fault exists and a DTC is stored.

MIL(Malfunction Indicatin Lamp) turns on when the malfunction lasts till cosecutive 2 driving cycle.

Signal Waveform And Data

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.

Monitor DTC Status

Check DTC Status

(1)	Connect scantool to Data Link Connector(DLC).

(2)

IG "ON".

(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 "Terminal and connector inspection" procedure.
	▶ Fault is intermittent caused by poor contact in the sensor's and/or PCM's connector or was repaired and PCM memory was not cleared. Thoroughly check connectors for looseness, poor connection, ending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration, or damage. Repair or replace as necessary and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.

Terminal And Connector Inspection

1.	Many malfunctions in the electrical system are caused by poor harness and terminal condition. Faults can also be caused by interference from other electrical systems, and mechanical or chemical damage.

2.	Thoroughly check connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration, or damage.

Has a problem been found ?

	▶ Repair or replace if necessary and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure
	▶ Go to "Power Circuit Inspection" procedure.

Is the waveform displayed correctly?(Compare the response time of TPS and MAPS)

	▶ Substitute with a known - good PCM and check for proper operation. If the problem is corrected, replace PCM and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.
	▶ After replacing MAPS with new one, if it operates normally, replace MAPS and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair".

Verification Of Vehicle Repair

After a repair, it is essential to verify that the fault has been corrected.

1.	Connect scan tool and select "Diagnostic Trouble Codes(DTCs)" mode

2.	Press F4(DTAL) and confirm that "DTC Readiness Flag" indicates "Complete". If not, drive the vehicle within conditions noted in the freeze frame data or enable conditions

3.	Read "DTC Status" parameter

Is parameter displayed "History(Not Present) fault"?

	▶ System performing to specification at this time. Clear the DTC
	▶ Go to the applicable troubleshooting procedure.
