DTC P1107 Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor Circuit Intermittent Low Voltage. Buick GL7 (Export) 2000

For 1990-2009 cars

### Circuit Description

The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor responds to changes in intake manifold pressure. The MAP sensor signal voltage to the powertrain control module (PCM) varies from below 2 volts at idle (high vacuum) to above 4 volts with the key ON and the engine not running or at wide open throttle (WOT). The MAP sensor is used to update the barometric pressure reading (BARO), as an enabling factor for other diagnostics, and to determine any manifold pressure changes while the EGR flow test diagnostic is being run. Refer to DTC P0401 Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Flow Insufficient . The PCM monitors the MAP signals for voltages outside the normal range of the MAP sensor. If the PCM detects a MAP signal voltage that is intermittently low, DTC P1107 will set.

### Conditions for Running the DTC

• | No TP sensor DTCs are present.

• | The ignition is ON.

• | System voltage is more than 9.0 volts.

• | The throttle angle is steady at more than 0 percent if the engine speed is less than 1000 RPM.

• | The throttle angle is steady at more than 10 percent if the engine speed is more than 1000 RPM.

### Conditions for Setting the DTC

The MAP sensor intermittently indicates a voltage of less than 0.1 volts or 12 kPa.

### Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The PCM stores conditions which were present when the DTC set as Failure Records only. This information will not be stored as Freeze Frame Records.

### Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

• | The DTC becomes history when the conditions for setting the DTC are no longer present.

• | The history DTC clears after 40 malfunction free warm-up cycles.

• | The PCM receives a clear code command from the scan tool.

### Diagnostic Aids

Inspect for the following conditions:

• | A poor connection at the PCM or the MAP sensor. Inspect the PCM harness connectors for the following conditions:

- | Backed-out terminals

- | Improper mating

- | Broken locks

- | Improperly formed or damaged terminals

- | Poor terminal-to-wire connection

• | A damaged harness. Inspect the wiring harness for damage. If the harness appears to be OK, observe the MAP display on the scan tool while moving the connectors and the wiring harnesses related to the sensor. A change in the display indicates the location of the malfunction.

If the DTC cannot be duplicated and is determined to be intermittent, reviewing the Failure Records can be useful in determining when the DTC was last set. Also refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems.
