What does the Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor measure?

The Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor measures changes in intake manifold pressure, which is the difference between barometric pressure and manifold pressure. It helps the PCM adjust for different altitudes and controls fuel delivery and ignition timing. The PCM sends a 5 volt reference signal to the MAP sensor, and by monitoring the sensor output voltage, it can determine the manifold pressure. Testing involves comparing the voltage reading to a chart, backprobing the MAP connector, applying vacuum to the sensor, and checking the voltage between terminal C and ground. If the sensor and circuits are functional, the PCM may be faulty. To remove the MAP sensor, the intake manifold top cover is removed, the crankcase breather tube is disconnected, and the sensor is detached from the intake manifold. The MAP sensor grommet should be inspected and replaced if necessary. Installation is the reverse of the removal procedure.

Cadillac Fleetwood MAP Sensor

In Cadillac Fleetwood, the MAP Sensor is an important device that measures the positive air pressure intaking through the intake manifold to calibrate the fuel to the engine control unit commonly known as ECU. In the unit-injection engines, the use of the MAP Sensor assists in estimating relative density of air and the air-fuel mixture to be used in the combustion process. Whereas naturally aspirated engine often have a choice of employing either of the sensors, the forced induction engines employ both a MAP and MAF sensor. The MAP Sensor also helps in diagnostics of troubles happening in the car and it is involved in the fuel delivery system, ignition system and the general performance of the engine.

Each OEM Cadillac Fleetwood MAP Sensor we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
