Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0106 MAP System Performance
060R200051
Circuit Description
The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor responds
to changes in intake manifold pressure (vacuum). The
MAP sensor signal voltage to the powertrain control
module (PCM) varies from below 2 volts at idle (high
vacuum) to above 4 volts at wide-open throttle (low
vacuum) at sea level.
The MAP sensor is used to determine manifold pressure
changes while the linear exhaust gas recirculation (EGR)
flow test diagnostic is being run (refer to DTC P0401),
engine vacuum level for some other diagnostics, and
barometric pressure (BARO). The PCM compares the
MAP sensor signal to a calculated MAP based on throttle
position and various engine load factors. If the PCM
detects a MAP signal that varies excessively above or
below the calculated value, DTC P0106 will set.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
No TP sensor DTCs are present.
Engine speed is steady, changing less then 100 RPM.
Engine speed is between 1000 rpm and 4000 rpm.
Throttle position is steady, throttle angle changes less
than 1%.
EGR flow rate is steady, changing less than 4%.
No change in brake switch, A/C clutch, TCC or power
steering pressure switch status.
Above conditions are met for longer than 1 second.
Actual MAP value varies more than 10 kPa.The MAP value must vary for a total of 10 seconds over
a 20-second period of time that the samples were
monitored.
The failure must occur for 2 consecutive trips.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp
(MIL) after the second consecutive trip in which the
fault is detected.
The PCM will default to a BARO value of 79.3 kPa.
The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC was set as Freeze Frame and in the
Failure Records data.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
The PCM will turn the MIL ªOFFº on the third
consecutive trip cycle during which the diagnostic has
been run and the fault condition is no longer present.
A history DTC P0106 will clear after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles have occurred without a fault.
DTC P0106 can be cleared by using the Tech 2 ªClear
Infoº function or by disconnecting the PCM battery
feed.
Diagnostic Aids
Check for the following conditions:
Poor connection at PCM ± Inspect harness connectors
for backed-out terminals, improper mating, broken
locks, improperly formed or damaged terminals, and
poor terminal-to-wire connection.

Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
The powertrain control module (PCM) is located in the
passenger compartment below the center console. The
PCM controls the following:
Fuel metering system.
Transmission shifting (automatic transmission only).
Ignition timing.
On-board diagnostics for powertrain functions.
The PCM constantly observes the information from
various sensors. The PCM controls the systems that
affect vehicle performance. The PCM performs the
diagnostic function of the system. It can recognize
operational problems, alert the driver through the MIL
(Check Engine lamp), and store diagnostic trouble codes
(DTCs). DTCs identify the problem areas to aid the
technician in making repairs.
PCM Function
The PCM supplies either 5 or 12 volts to power various
sensors or switches. The power is supplied through
resistances in the PCM which are so high in value that a
test light will not light when connected to the circuit. In
some cases, even an ordinary shop voltmeter will not give
an accurate reading because its resistance is too low.
Therefore, a digital voltmeter with at least 10 megohms
input impedance is required to ensure accurate voltage
readings. Tool J 39200 meets this requirement. The PCM
controls output circuits such as the injectors, fan relays,
etc., by controlling the ground or the power feed circuit
through transistors or through either of the following two
devices:
Output Driver Module (ODM)
Quad Driver Module (QDM)
060RY00068
PCM Components
The PCM is designed to maintain exhaust emission levels
to government mandated standards while providing
excellent driveability and fuel efficiency. The PCM
monitors numerous engine and vehicle functions via
electronic sensors such as the throttle position (TP)sensor, heated oxygen sensor (HO2S), and vehicle
speed sensor (VSS). The PCM also controls certain
engine operations through the following:
Fuel injector control
Ignition control module
ION sensing module
Automatic transmission shift functions
Cruise control
Evaporative emission (EVAP) purge
A/C clutch control
PCM Voltage Description
The PCM supplies a buffered voltage to various switches
and sensors. It can do this because resistance in the
PCM is so high in value that a test light may not illuminate
when connected to the circuit. An ordinary shop
voltmeter may not give an accurate reading because the
voltmeter input impedance is too low. Use a 10-megohm
input impedance digital voltmeter (such as J 39200) to
assure accurate voltage readings.
The input/output devices in the PCM include
analog-to-digital converters, signal buffers, counters,
and special drivers. The PCM controls most components
with electronic switches which complete a ground circuit
when turned ªON.º These switches are arranged in
groups of 4 and 7, called either a surface-mounted quad
driver module (QDM), which can independently control up
to 4 output terminals, or QDMs which can independently
control up to 7 outputs. Not all outputs are always used.

Service Precautions
WARNING: WHEN PERFORMING SERVICE ON OR
AROUND SRS COMPONENTS OR SRS WIRING,
FOLLOW THE PROCEDURES LISTED BELOW TO
TEMPORARILY DISABLE THE SRS. FAILURE TO
FOLLOW PROCEDURES COULD RESULT IN
POSSIBLE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT, PERSONAL
INJURY OR OTHERWISE UNNEEDED SRS REPAIRS.
The SDM in DriverÐPassenger SRS can maintain
sufficient voltage to cause a deployment for up to 15
seconds after the ignition switch is turned ªOFFº, the
battery is disconnected, or the fuse powering the SDM is
removed.
Many of the service procedures require removal of the
ªSRS±1º fuse, and disconnection of the air bag assembly
from the deployment loop to avoid an accidental
deployment. If the air bag assembly is disconnected from
the deployment loop as noted in the ªDisabling the SRSº
procedure that follows, service can begin immediately
without waiting for the 15 second time period to expire.
Disabling The SRS
Removal
Turn the ignition switch to ªlockº and remove key.
1. Remove SRS fuse SRS±1, from left dash side lower
fuse block or disconnect battery.
2. Disconnect yellow 2±pin connector at the base of
steering column.
3. Remove glove box assembly, Refer to ªPassenger Air
Bag Assembly Replacementº in section 9J±28.
4. Disconnect yellow 2±pin connector behind the glove
box assembly.
CAUTION: With the ªSRS±1º fuse removed and
ignition switch ªONº, ªAIR BAGº warning lamp will
be ªONº. This is normal operation and does not
indicate an SRS malfunction.

CAUTION: Never use the air bag assembly from
another vehicle and difference model year air bag
assembly.

Turn ignition switch to ªONº and verify that the ªAIR BAGº
warning lamp flashes seven times and then turns ªOFFº If
it does not operate as described, perform the ªSRS
Diagnostic System Checkº in section 9J1±3.
Handling / Installation / Diagnosis
1. Air bag assembly should not be subjected to
temperatures above 93C (200F).
2. Air bag assembly, and SDM should not be used if they
have been dropped from a height of 100 centimeters
(3.28 feet).
3. When a SDM is replaced, it must be oriented with the
arrow on the sensor pointing toward the front of the
vehicle. It is very important for the SDM to be located
flat on the mounting surface, parallel to the vehicle
datum line. It is important that the SDM mounting
surface is free of any dirt or other foreign material.
4. Do not apply power to the SRS unless all components
are connected or a diagnostic chart requests it, as this
will set a diagnostic trouble code.
5. The ªSRS Diagnostic System Checkº must be the
starting point of any SRS diagnostics. The ªSRS
Diagnostic System Checkº will verify proper ªAIR
BAGº warning lamp operation and will lead you to the
correct chart to diagnose any SRS malfunctions.
Bypassing these procedures may result in extended
diagnostic time, incorrect diagnosis, and incorrect
parts replacement.
Air Bag Assembly Handling /
Shipping / Scrapping
Live (Undeployed) Air Bag Assembly
Special care is necessary when handling and storing a
live (undeployed) air bag assembly. The rapid gas
generation produced during deployment of the air bag
could cause the air bag assembly, or an object in front of
the air bag assembly, to be thrown through the air in the
unlikely event of an accidental deployment.
