Manifold Absolute Pressure And Temperature (MAPT) Sensor
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Land Rover Range Rover, 2017 Land Rover Range Rover, 2016 Land Rover Range Rover, 2014 Land Rover Range Rover, and 2013 Land Rover Range Rover. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The Manifold Absolute Pressure and Temperature (MAPT) sensor allows the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) to calculate the charge air density and temperature immediately before it enters the cylinders. This is used to adjust the ignition timing relative to the boost pressure, and to monitor the performance of the charge air coolers.
The MAPT sensor is installed in the rear of the left intake manifold. The sensor is secured with a single screw and sealed with an O-ring. A four pin electrical connector provides the interface with the engine harness.
With a failed MAPT sensor, the engine will suffer from poor starting, rough running and poor drive ability.
