DTC P0106: Manifold Absolute Pressure (Map/BARO) Sensor Range/Performance

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 33 other vehicles, including the 2010 Mercury Mountaineer, 2010 Mercury Milan, 2010 Mercury Mariner, 2010 Mercury Grand Marquis, and 2010 Lincoln Town Car. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
DTC P0106: MANIFOLD ABSOLUTE PRESSURE (MAP/BARO) SENSOR RANGE/PERFORMANCE

For Vehicles With 3.5L GTDI Engine 
Description:  The powertrain control module (PCM) continuously monitors this sensor for concerns.
This DTC sets when the manifold absolute pressure (MAP) parameter identification (PID) does not correlate with the barometric pressure (BARO) or the throttle intake pressure (TIP_PRS_BOOST) PIDs at ignition on. It will also set if the MAP and TIP_PRS_BOOST PIDs fail to correlate when running and the TIP_PRS_BOOST PID does not correlate with the BARO PID at idle.
Possible Causes: 
  • Slow responding manifold absolute pressure (MAP)/intake air temperature 2 (IAT2) sensor
  • Damaged MAP/IAT2 sensor
Diagnostic Aids:  The VREF voltage should be between 4.0 and 6.0 volts.
For All Others 
Description:  MAP sensor input to the powertrain control module (PCM) is monitored and is not within the calibrated value.
Possible Causes: 
  • Slow responding MAP sensor
  • Damaged MAP sensor
Diagnostic Aids:  The VREF voltage should be between 4.0 and 6.0 volts.
