Signal Functions

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2005 Ford RV Cutaway, 2005 Ford Pickup, 2005 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2005 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2005 Ford Excursion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The MAP sensor is a variable capacitance sensor that, when supplied with a 5-volt reference signal from the powertrain control module (PCM), produces an analog voltage signal that indicates pressure.

Smoke Control  - The MAP signal is used to control smoke by limiting the fuel quantity during acceleration until a specified boost pressure is obtained.

Dynamic Injection Timing  - Optimizes injection timing for the boost pressure measured.
