- Ignition OFF, remove the MAP sensor.
- Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the 5 V reference circuit terminal C and the corresponding terminal of the MAP sensor.
- Install a jumper wire between the low reference terminal A of the MAP sensor and ground.
- Install a jumper wire at terminal B of the MAP sensor.
- Connect a DMM between the jumper wire from the terminal B of the MAP sensor and ground.
- 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 4.9-0.2 V without any spikes or dropouts.
- If the voltage is erratic, replace the MAP sensor.
