DTC P0068: Manifold Absolute Pressure (Map)/Mass Air Flow (MAF) - Throttle Position Correlation

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 30 other vehicles, including the 2006 Mercury Mountaineer, 2006 Mercury Monterey, 2006 Mercury Montego, 2006 Mercury Mariner, and 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
P0068 - MANIFOLD ABSOLUTE PRESSURE (MAP)/MASS AIR FLOW (MAF) - THROTTLE POSITION CORRELATION

Description:  The powertrain control module (PCM) monitors a vehicle operation rationality check by comparing sensed throttle position to mass air flow readings. If during a key on engine running (KOER) selftest, the comparison of the throttle position (TP) sensor and MAF sensor readings are not consistent with the calibrated load values, the test fails and a DTC is stored in continuous memory.
Possible Causes: 
  • Air leak between MAF sensor and throttle body
  • TP sensor not seated properly
  • Damaged TP sensor
  • Damaged MAF sensor
Diagnostic Aids:  Drive the vehicle and exercise the throttle and the TP sensor in all gears. A TP PID (TP V PID) less than 4.82% (0.24 volt) with a LOAD PID greater than 55%, or a TP PID (TP V PID) greater than 49.05% (2.44 volts) with a LOAD PID less than 30% indicates a concern is present.
