Map Sensor Reading At Idle

Map sensor reading at idle

A map sensor that reads 1 or 2 volts at idle may read 45 volts to 5 volts at wide open throttle. This signal can be downloaded and used to correctly set up the lab scope or as reference signal.

The map sensor measures the absolute pressure inside the intake manifold of the engine.

At idle or when decelerating vacuum is high and the bp map sensor output may drop to 100 hz hertz or cycles per second or less. If you re not at sea level you must compensate for your elevation. The signals are measured under the following conditions. The first test is to make sure the sensor reads atmospheric pressure correctly key on engine off koeo.

Just hook up your scan tool and get the map reading koeo. When the engine is off the absolute pressure inside the intake equals atmospheric pressure so the map will indicate about 14 7 psi. Figure 3 shows a waveform of a map sensor of a car with running engine. At wide open throttle when there is almost no vacuum in the intake manifold the sensor s output may jump to 150 hz or higher.

Download map sensor measurement. Map reading at idle this is a discussion on map reading at idle within the general help forums part of the lsx technical help section category. When at rest the map sensor reads atmospheric pressure at sea level 29 93 in. I just got a scan tool that gives a live feed and noticed a few odd things.

When the engine is started and idling the vacuum of the engine should reduce atmospheric barometric pressure by 20 inhg. With the engine not running and the key on the map sensor should read around 28 inhg. The reading on the scan tool scan tool should be approximately 8 to 9 inhg. A normal sea level reading is 29 9 in.

The purpose of the map sensor is to measure the pressure within the intake manifold relative to the ambient barometric pressure. At sea level atmospheric pressure is about 14 7 psi pounds per square inch. When idling intake pressure usually ranges from 16 22 in. At zero vacuum atmospheric pressure a ford bp map sensor should read 159 hz.

Because atmospheric pressure varies with weather and altitude the ecm calculates this zero point just before the engine starts fine tuning spark and fuel injection mapping from that point. Key on cranking idle 2000 rpm 3000 rpm and back to idle.
