Skewed Sensor Test
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.
- Ignition OFF, remove the vacuum source from the MAP sensor.
- Ignition ON, observe and record the scan tool MAP sensor pressure parameter. This is the first MAP sensor reading.
- With the J 23738-A or J 35555 , apply 17 kPa (5 inches Hg ) of vacuum to the MAP sensor. Observe and record the scan tool MAP sensor pressure parameter. This is the second MAP sensor reading.
- Subtract the second MAP sensor reading from the first MAP sensor reading. Verify that the vacuum decrease is within 14 kPa (1 inch Hg) of the applied vacuum.
- If the vacuum decrease is not within the specified range, replace the MAP sensor.
- With the J 23738-A or J 35555 , apply 34 kPa (10 inches Hg) of vacuum tot he MAP sensor. Observe and record the scan tool MAP sensor pressure parameter. This is the third MAP sensor reading.
- Subtract the third MAP sensor reading from the first MAP sensor reading. Verify that the vacuum decrease is within 4 kPa (1 inch Hg) of the applied vacuum.
- If the vacuum decrease is not within the specified range, replace the MAP sensor.
