Step Action Yes No
1Was “ENGINE DIAG. FLOW TABLE” per-
formed?Go to Step 2. Go to “ENGINE DIAG.
FLOW TABLE” in this
section.
2 MAP sensor signal check :

3-25 under following conditions.
•With ignition switch ON leaving engine OFF
: 0.2 V or higher
•At idling : 4.6 V or lower
Is check result as specified?Intermittent trouble or
faulty ECM (PCM).
Check for intermittent
referring to “INTERMIT-
TENT AND POOR CON-
NECTION” in Section 0A.Go to Step 3.
3 MAP sensor check :
1) Disconnect connector from MAP sensor.
2) Check for proper connection to MAP sensor
at each terminal.
3) If OK, check MAP sensor for performance
referring to “MAP SENSOR INSPECTION”
in Section 6E2.
Is check result satisfactory?“RED/WHT”, “GRY/YEL”
or “GRY/RED” circuit

formed?Go to Step 2. Go to “ENGINE DIAG. FLOW TABLE”
in this section.
2 Check for voltage at terminal C51-1-24 of
ECM (PCM) connector connected, under fol-
lowing condition.

cuit open or short, or
relay malfunction.
If above are OK, sub-
stitute a known-good
