Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 28 other vehicles, including the 2014 Lincoln Navigator, 2014 Lincoln MKZ, 2014 Lincoln MKX, 2014 Lincoln MKT, and 2014 Lincoln MKS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The MAP sensor measures intake manifold absolute pressure. The PCM uses information from the MAP sensor to measure how much exhaust gas is introduced into the intake manifold.
The MAP sensor for speed density systems is centrally located on the intake manifold and measures the intake manifold pressure. The PCM uses this information to determine the speed density air charge and to provide input for various engine control functions. The MAP sensor for a speed density system is integrated with an IAT sensor.
