DTC P010A: Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor: Description

The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor is placed at intake manifold collector. It detects intake manifold pressure and sends the voltage signal to the ECM.

The sensor uses a silicone diaphragm which is sensitive to the change in pressure. As the pressure increases, the voltage rises.
