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

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 32 other vehicles, including the 2007 Mercury Mountaineer, 2007 Mercury Monterey, 2007 Mercury Montego, 2007 Mercury Milan, and 2007 Mercury Mariner. 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) self-test, 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
  • Damaged MAF sensor
  • TP sensor not seated correctly
  • Damaged TP sensor
Diagnostic Aids:  Diagnose any MAF or TP circuit DTCs first. Drive the vehicle and exercise the throttle and the TP sensor in all gears. A TP PID less than 4.82% (0.24 volt) with a LOAD PID greater than 55%, or a TP PID greater than 49.05% (2.44 volts) with a LOAD PID less than 30% indicates a concern is present.
