WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 GMC Sierra and 2009 Chevrolet Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Ignition OFF, remove the MAP sensor.
  2. Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the 5-volt reference circuit terminal 1 and the corresponding terminal of the MAP sensor.
  3. Install a jumper wire between the low reference circuit terminal 2 of the MAP sensor and ground.
  4. Install a jumper wire at terminal 3 of the MAP sensor.
  5. Connect a DMM between the jumper wire from terminal 3 of the MAP sensor and ground.
  6. Ignition ON, with the J 23738-A  or J 35555  , slowly apply vacuum to the sensor while observing the voltage on the DMM. The voltage should vary between 0-5.2 volts, without any spikes or dropouts.
    • If the voltage reading is erratic, replace the MAP sensor.
