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

DTC 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.
