Code d’erreur P0106 – incompatibilité de la plage de fonctionnement du circuit du capteur de pression absolue du collecteur/pression barométrique

Description technique et décodage de l’erreur p0106, symptômes de l’erreur, causes de l’erreur, comment réparer ou réinitialiser le code de panne p0106, diagnostic et résolution des problèmes, contrôle du capteur ida, sur quelles voitures ce problème est-il le plus souvent rencontré.

Le code d’erreur P0106 ressemble à « incompatibilité de la plage de fonctionnement du circuit du capteur de pression absolue du collecteur/pression barométrique ». Souvent, dans les programmes fonctionnant avec un scanner OBD-2, le nom peut avoir l’orthographe anglaise « Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP)/Barometric Pressure (BARO) Circuit Range/Performance Problem ».

Le code de diagnostic OBD-II P0106 est défini comme une inadéquation de la plage de performances du circuit du capteur de pression absolue du collecteur / pression barométrique. Il se produit lorsque le PCM détecte une tension provenant du capteur MAP qui ne correspond pas à la charge actuelle du moteur ou à la position du papillon des gaz. Cela peut également signifier que le signal du capteur MAP n’est pas en corrélation avec la tension du signal du capteur de position du papillon des gaz (TPS).

Le PCM utilise d’autres capteurs, principalement le capteur de position du papillon des gaz (TPS), pour contrôler la précision du capteur MAP. Par conséquent, si le PCM détecte un « décalage » entre les signaux des capteurs MAP et TPS, il s’agit d’un défaut et le code P0106 est activé. Il s’agit d’une condition de défaut et le code P0106 est activé.

Dans un système fonctionnant correctement, le PCM s’attend à détecter un changement de tension dans le signal du capteur MAP immédiatement après un changement de position du papillon des gaz. Mais cela ne se produit que si le capteur MAP, le capteur TPS et les circuits connexes fonctionnent correctement.

Un capteur TPS défectueux peut également entraîner l’activation du code P0106 lorsque la tension de son signal ne correspond pas à la tension du signal du capteur MAP / BARO.

Le principal symptôme de l’erreur P0106 pour le conducteur est l’allumage du voyant MIL (Malfunction Indicator Light). Il est également appelé « Check engine » ou simplement « check light ».

Il peut également se manifester sous la forme suivante :

• Le témoin « Check engine » s’allume sur le tableau de bord (le code est enregistré en mémoire en tant que défaut).
• Le moteur cale ou démarre mal.
• Le moteur cale ou démarre mal. Les régimes flottants et les tentatives de calage au ralenti.
• L’allumage du moteur manque en charge ou au ralenti.
• Puissance réduite du moteur.
• Mauvaise accélération.
• Augmentation de la consommation de carburant.
• Dans certains cas, il peut n’y avoir aucun symptôme autre qu’un code d’erreur enregistré.

L’erreur P0106 est grave, car elle peut entraîner des problèmes de moteur. Mais s’il n’y a aucun symptôme et que seul le voyant Check Engine est allumé, le système OBD-II peut être redémarré et la voiture continuera à fonctionner normalement. fpm_start("true");

Le code P0106 peut signifier qu’un ou plusieurs des problèmes suivants se sont produits :

• Tuyau de dépression usé ou endommagé au niveau du capteur de pression absolue dans le collecteur d’admission.
• Capteurs MAP, MAF, BARO ou TPS défectueux.
• Connecteurs des capteurs MAP, MAF, BARO ou TPS endommagés ou usés.
• Câblage endommagé.
• Faible pression de carburant ou dommages aux composants internes du moteur (par exemple, brûlure des soupapes).
• Convertisseur catalytique bouché.
• Parfois causé par un module PCM défectueux.

Voici quelques étapes suggérées pour dépanner et réparer le code d’erreur P0106 :

• Connectez un scanner OBD-II au connecteur de diagnostic du véhicule et lisez toutes les données stockées et les codes d’erreur.
• Effacez les codes d’erreur de la mémoire de l’ordinateur et testez le véhicule pour voir si le code P0106 réapparaît.
• Si le code réapparaît, vérifiez tous les câbles et les connecteurs associés menant aux capteurs MAP, MAF, BARO ou TPS. Assurez-vous qu’ils ne sont pas cassés ou usés. Réparez-les ou remplacez-les si nécessaire.
• Inspectez et testez ces capteurs.
• Remplacer les capteurs défectueux si nécessaire.
• Si un module PCM défectueux est à l’origine du problème, remplacez-le ou reprogrammez-le.

Vérifiez que les capteurs, le câblage et les connecteurs ne présentent pas de dommages visibles. Commencez ensuite une procédure de diagnostic à l’aide d’un outil de balayage. Déterminez si l’erreur P0106 est la seule erreur, si ce n’est pas le cas, il peut être utile de traiter d’abord les autres codes d’erreur.

Si les connecteurs endommagés ou corrodés ne posent aucun problème, procédez à une inspection minutieuse de tous les câbles associés. Réparez ou remplacez le câblage endommagé si nécessaire.

Vérifiez que le filtre à air n’est pas bouché et que le convertisseur catalytique n’est pas endommagé. Vérifiez également si l’admission d’air est endommagée ou déconnectée, si les conduites d’aspiration sont délogées ou cassées et si des obstructions se produisent dans le conduit d’admission. Remplacer les tuyaux, les conduits, l’élément filtrant ou les conduites de dépression si nécessaire.

Si le code persiste, vérifiez la tension de référence au niveau du connecteur du capteur MAP. Vérifiez également la mise à la terre et la continuité, en particulier dans le fil de signal entre le PCM et le connecteur du capteur MAP. Si la résistance est infinie, réparez la rupture du circuit de signal MAP.

Si la continuité est normale, vérifiez le capteur MAP en appliquant une dépression au capteur MAP. La tension du capteur MAP doit diminuer progressivement de 5 volts à 1 volt ou un peu moins. Elle remonte ensuite à environ 5 volts lorsque la dépression est relâchée. Si la tension du signal ne correspond pas aux spécifications du fabricant, remplacez le capteur MAP.

Souvent, les relevés du capteur MAP peuvent rester bloqués à 4,5 volts, quelle que soit la quantité de vide appliquée. Cela indique un court-circuit entre le fil de signal et le fil de référence de 5 volts. Si nécessaire, réparez le câblage pour éliminer le court-circuit.

Si la tension est perdue dans le fil de signal lorsque le connecteur du capteur MAP est débranché, il y a un court-circuit interne et le capteur doit être remplacé.

Dans certains cas, le PCM peut être défectueux ou sur le point de tomber en panne. Mais cela est extrêmement rare. C’est pourquoi, avant de le remplacer, il est préférable de tout vérifier à nouveau minutieusement.

Le problème du code P0106 peut se produire sur un grand nombre de voitures, mais il existe toujours des statistiques sur les marques où cette erreur est la plus fréquente. Voici une liste de quelques-unes d’entre elles :

• Audi (A6, Q7)
• Chevrolet (Avalanche, Aveo, Cruze, Lacetti, Silverado, TrailBlazer)

• Get Help with P0106

OBD II code P0106 is defined as “ Manifold Absolute Pressure/Barometric Pressure Circuit Range/Performance Problem”, and is set when the PCM (Power Train Control Module) detects a signal voltage from the MAP (Manifold Absolute Pressure) sensor that is abnormal with regard to the current engine load or throttle position, or a signal voltage that does not show a valid relationship with the MAP sensor.

Changes in the signal voltage is interpreted by the PCM as variations, or fluctuations in the intake manifold pressure when compared with ambient atmospheric pressure. In most applications, the PCM will detect and store code P0106 when an incorrect signal voltage is present for more than four continuous seconds, with reference to a signal voltage that applies to each particular application.

In terms of operating principles, the PCM uses data from the MAP sensor related to the pressure, or vacuum in the intake manifold to monitor the engine load in order to calculate an appropriate fuel delivery strategy for the current engine load, as well as the proper air/fuel ratio for that load. Note however that some applications use a BARO (Barometric) sensor that is incorporated into the MAF (Mass Airflow Sensor) instead of a dedicated MAP sensor. In these cases, the BARO sensor senses changes in ambient air pressure as a vehicle’s altitude above sea level changes.

Still other applications make use of a combined MAF/BARO sensor with a redundant, but integrated MAP sensor as a backup should the MAF sensor fail. In yet another variation, the ECM (Engine Control Module) in some cars use data from the MAP sensor to monitor the EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) system, in addition to checking the validity of data from other sensors.

From this is should be obvious that other codes could accompany P0106; if other codes are indeed present, these codes should be investigated first, since P0106 could be set as the result of malfunctions and failures in systems that are not directly related to the MAP sensor.

While there are some design differences between MAP sensors made by different manufacturers, all MAP sensors are located on the inlet manifold. The image below shows the typical location of MAP sensors on four cylinder engines.

Note:  A Range/Performance related code will be set when either a sensor or other component does not perform within the range the PCM (Powertrain Control Module) expects to see, given the current engine load/speed, and information gathered from other sensors. The possible causes of Range/Performance codes are likely to be defective sensors as easily as they are likely to be the result of wiring issues that affect the operation of the affected sensor or component, which means that with these codes, it is important to regard all sensors and components as part of the control circuit the code refers to.

Typical causes of code P0106 are many and varied. In some cases, the code could be set as the result of unrelated faults, such as:

• Serious, or prolonged misfires on one or more cylinders
• Clogged catalytic converter(s)
• Vacuum leaks as the result of poor maintenance
• Defective throttle position sensor
• Defective, or malfunctioning mass airflow sensor.
• Defective Exhaust Gas Recirculation valve
• Defective Idle Air Control Motor
• Other causes that are directly related to the MAP sensor include:
• Open, shorted, or damaged wiring
• Defective BARO sensor (where fitted)
• Defective MAP sensor
• Unmetered air entering the inlet tract.
• Power Train Control module failure is possible, although it is relatively rare.

Common symptoms of code P0106 are for the most part the same on all applications, although the severity of some symptoms may vary from vehicle to vehicle. Common symptoms include, but may not be limited to-

• Hesitation upon acceleration
• Increased fuel consumption
• Illuminated Check Engine light
• Stored trouble codes, of which P0106 may be only one.

NOTE: it is important to clean the MAF sensor “hot wire” element with an approved cleaning agent as a first step in the diagnostic procedure. In many cases, a simple cleaning of the MAF sensor will resolve the issue, as will a thorough check of all electrical connectors and wiring in the circuit to correct bad connections due to corrosion or damage to connectors / wiring. Also, check the exhaust system for leaks, and repair any leaks found before starting an electrical diagnosis. Be sure to test the system after each step in the diagnostic/repair procedure to ensure a reliable repair.

If there is no visible damage to wiring and connectors, make sure that the engine is in proper working order, with no misfires, lean conditions, etc. present before attempting to diagnose this code.

NOTE: Vacuum system leaks are far more common than sensor failures, so make sure that no unmetered air enters the intake tract that could cause code P0106 to be set. Repair vacuum leaks as required. Also bear in mind that a restricted airflow can also cause code P0106 to be set, so check for ruptured or restricted air inlet ducting, clogged catalytic converter(s), or clogged/dirty air filter elements. Repair/replace components as required.

If the air inlet ducting checks out OK, check the MAP sensor, or MAF/BARO sensor circuit for power, ground, and continuity, but be sure to disconnect all control modules before performing continuity checks. Check the reference voltage and ground at the sensor connector, and compare the reading to the value specified for the application being worked on.

With the ignition “ON”, and the engine “OFF”, there should be a steady reference voltage of around 5 Volts, and a good ground. The third wire in the connector is the MAP sensor signal wire leading to the PCM. Use an appropriate wiring diagram for the application to determine the correct color-coding for the wires in the connector. Repair wiring as required to restore continuity, and/or power supply.

If all readings obtained fall within the manufacturer specifications, test the sensor itself by using the manufacturer’s pressure to Hertz chart or table. Replace the sensor if it does not comply with the manufacturer’s specifications.

To test the repair, test drive the vehicle with a data-streaming tool connected, and keep a close watch on the RPM, throttle position, engine load, and road speed. Compare these values to the displayed PID (Parameter ID); the voltage from the MAP sensor should fluctuate with changing engine speed and load, with typical values varying from around 5V or slightly less on acceleration, to around 1V or a little more during deceleration.

TIP: To further ensure a successful repair, perform a vacuum test of the MAP sensor while the data steaming tool is still connected, with the ignition “ON”, but the engine “OFF”. Connect a vacuum pump to the sensor, and draw a vacuum of about 18 to 20 inches. The voltage output should drop from around 5V to about 1V as the vacuum is being drawn. Hold the vacuum for few minutes; there should be no discernable drop in both the voltage and vacuum.

With the sensor under vacuum, jiggle the connector about to see if the voltage fluctuates, but also check all vacuum hoses, caps, and the sensor seal if it plugs directly into the inlet duct. A vacuum test is the most reliable way to trace vacuum leaks that occur through hardened, split, and badly fitting hoses and connections. Repair all vacuum leaks as required.

In most cases, the above steps should resolve the issue, but to be sure, clear all fault codes, retest the vehicle, and rescan the system to see if any codes have returned. If any faults do return, there may be an intermittent fault, which can sometimes be very challenging to trace and resolve. In some cases, it may be necessary to allow the fault to worsen before an accurate diagnosis can be made.

NOTE: If despite repeated repair attempts the code(s) and symptoms persist, it is possible that the Power Train Control Module has failed, or is in the process of failing. However, this happens only rarely, but when it does happen, the PCM will require reprogramming.

Replacing the PCM should be the last resort; if all other repair attempts fail to resolve the issue, check to see if the EGR valve and Idle Air Control Motor are fully functional, since failures or malfunctions in these components can also cause code P0106 to be set on some applications. Moreover, a failed or malfunctioning Idle Air Control Motor causes a very low idle, which is easy to mistake for a failure of MAP/MAF/BARO sensors and circuits.

Erreur P0106 – comment la réparer ?

Définition du code d’erreur P0106

Collecteur d’air (MAP) Capteur de pression barométrique (MAP) Circuit électrique Plage de sortie et problème de performance

Que signifie P0106

P0106 est un code général pour un problème de circuit MAP avec une plage de tension de sortie incorrecte ou un problème de performance du moteur. Le capteur MAP fait partie intégrante du système d’injection de carburant et fournit des signaux à l’unité de contrôle du moteur (ECU) pour assurer un fonctionnement régulier et une bonne économie de carburant, ainsi que des performances et une puissance adéquates.

Qu’est-ce qui provoque l’apparition du code P0106 ?

Le problème de portée et de performance du circuit MAP peut avoir plusieurs causes :

• La source du problème est que la sortie de tension du capteur MAP est incorrecte et en dehors de l’entrée programmée requise par le calculateur.
• Le problème le plus courant est un connecteur en plastique et un collier de serrage desserrés, cassés ou manquants sur le tuyau d’entrée du système d’aspiration ou d’air.
• Les câbles ou le capteur MAP peuvent être endommagés, fragiles, fissurés, avoir une mauvaise connexion ou être trop proches de composants à haute tension, notamment des alternateurs, des fils d’allumage, etc. Une mauvaise mise à la terre électrique peut également causer des problèmes.
• Le capteur lui-même peut simplement fonctionner hors de sa portée en raison de la fatigue de ses composants internes.
• Les capteurs MAP doivent fonctionner dans certaines plages afin d’envoyer les signaux corrects au calculateur pour qu’il les coordonne avec le capteur de position du papillon et les ajuste correctement pour le bon fonctionnement du moteur.
• Si le moteur n’est pas en bon état, s’il est manquant, si la pression de carburant est faible ou s’il y a un problème interne au moteur, comme une soupape brûlée, cela peut empêcher le capteur MAP d’obtenir la sortie correcte.
• L’écu peut aussi être défectueux, mais c’est rare.

Quels sont les symptômes du code P0106 ?

Le code P0106 est généralement précédé par le voyant « check engine » sur l’écran du tableau de bord. Dans la plupart des cas, le véhicule ne fonctionne pas bien, tourne mal au ralenti, accélère de manière irrégulière, est riche et fait du bruit parce que le capteur MAP et le capteur de position du papillon ne coopèrent pas correctement.

Comment un mécanicien peut-il diagnostiquer le code P0106 ?

P0106 est diagnostiqué à l’aide d’un scanner OBD-II. Un technicien qualifié doit alors réinitialiser les codes d’erreur OBD-II et effectuer un essai routier sur le véhicule pour voir si le code revient. Cela peut être observé en regardant les données en direct sur le scanner pendant la conduite. Si le code revient, le mécanicien devra procéder à une inspection approfondie pour vérifier si la conduite de vide et les autres tuyaux du système d’admission sont manquants, desserrés, endommagés ou débranchés. Si ces éléments semblent corrects, le technicien doit effectuer un test de tension de sortie sur le capteur lorsque le moteur tourne pour déterminer si la tension de sortie varie en fonction du régime et de la charge du moteur. Vérifiez que toutes les masses fonctionnent correctement, car toute masse liée au calculateur peut entraîner des fluctuations du signal du capteur.

Les erreurs les plus courantes lors du diagnostic du code P0106.

Les erreurs de diagnostic sont en grande partie dues au fait que la procédure correcte n’a pas été suivie. Tout d’abord, il faut effectuer une procédure de test de diagnostic pour s’assurer qu’il n’y a pas de fuite d’air d’admission, comme une conduite de vide ou une mauvaise connexion. Le technicien doit vérifier que la tension de sortie du capteur MAP est correcte et varie en fonction de la vitesse du moteur et de la tension correcte. La tension est généralement comprise entre 1 et 1,5 volt au ralenti et environ 4,5 volts à plein régime.

N’achetez pas un nouveau capteur MAP ou un nouveau calculateur, sauf s’il est clairement défectueux.

Quelle est la gravité du code P0106 ?

Le code P0106 entraîne une panne de moteur et nécessite une attention immédiate. Faites diagnostiquer le véhicule dès que possible. Un problème avec le capteur MAP peut entraîner une consommation de carburant excessive, un fonctionnement irrégulier et des difficultés de démarrage dans certaines circonstances, et peut causer d’autres dommages si la conduite se poursuit. Parfois, si aucun problème n’est détecté, un technicien peut réinitialiser les codes d’anomalie et revérifier le code ou vérifier que le voyant moteur s’allume à nouveau.

Souvent, si le témoin d’avertissement du moteur s’allume immédiatement après le démarrage, le système OBD-II peut être réinitialisé et le véhicule fonctionnera normalement.

Quelles réparations peuvent effacer le code P0106 ?

• Les solutions potentielles les plus courantes pour effacer le code P0106 sont les suivantes :
• Vérifiez le code avec un scanner OBD-II. Réinitialisez les codes de panne et effectuez un essai routier du véhicule.
• Si le code P0106 revient, effectuez la procédure de test.
• Vérifiez que les conduites de vide et les tuyaux d’admission ne sont pas cassés, desserrés ou manquants, ainsi que le connecteur électrique et le câblage. Débranchez le connecteur électrique, puis réinstallez-le pour assurer une nouvelle connexion électrique positive. Ensuite, vérifiez la tension de sortie au niveau du capteur MAP pour voir si elle est dans la bonne plage.
• À ce stade, il est préférable de déterminer si le capteur MAP est défectueux et s’il ne l’est pas ou s’il a une sortie incorrecte, alors remplacez le capteur MAP. Si tous les contrôles sont bons, effectuez un dernier test pour déterminer si le calculateur est défectueux.

Notes supplémentaires à considérer pour le code P0106

De nombreux véhicules de plus de 100 000 kilomètres connaissent des problèmes temporaires de capteur, qui surviennent généralement lors du démarrage ou d’une sollicitation prolongée du système de transmission. Si le témoin d’avertissement du moteur s’allume et que le véhicule semble fonctionner normalement, le système OBD-II peut être réinitialisé à l’aide d’un scanner et le problème peut ne pas se reproduire. Il est donc important de vérifier le défaut et de le réinitialiser avant d’effectuer des réparations.

P0106 – Manifold Absolute Pressure – Circuit Range/Performance Problem

• Updated: January 7, 2023

When everything is going well, your car runs as it should and there are no lights on the dashboard. Yet, no matter how well you maintain your vehicle, it’s possible to see the Check Engine Light come on with the P0106 code on your OBD-II scanner.

In this guide, I help you understand the symptoms and meaning of the P0106 trouble code. Once I outline the possible causes, you may be able to figure out the appropriate fix, so you can get back on the road. 

Code P0106 Definition

P0106 – Manifold Absolute Pressure/Barometric Pressure – Circuit Range/Performance Problem

What Does the P0106 Code Mean?

The P0106 DTC means that the Manifold Absolute Pressure/BARO Sensor Range/Performance has discovered a problem. This code occurs if the powertrain control module (PCM) determines the MAP/BARO sensor readings are erratic and incorrect. 

The MAP sensor signal should be 1 to 4.5 volts, heading back to the PCM , depending on what load the engine is running at. If the P0106 code is set, it means that the signal went below or above that for a predetermined amount of time. 

This code is defined as generic by the SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers). However, the definition of this code could be different based on the manufacturer of your vehicle. 

P0106 Trouble Code Symptoms

At first, you may notice the Check Engine Light comes on with the P0106 trouble code. However, it won’t be long after that that the other symptoms will begin to present themselves. Many of these symtoms are undeniable. 

Here are the most common P0106 symptoms.

• Check Engine Light
• Rough engine performance
• Black smoke coming out of the tailpipe
• Reduced fuel economy
• Missing engine, especially at higher speeds

Causes of the P0106 Code

There are numerous causes that can lead to the P0106 trouble code, which is why it’s so important to run through the standard diagnostic procedures. However, here are a few of the causes you might discover as you do your own research.

• Malfunctioning MAP/BARO sensor
• Electrical short
• Vacuum leak
• Malfunctioning exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system
• Failing PCM

How Serious is the P0106 Code?

Serious – If the Check Engine Light comes on and you find the P0106 code, it’s best to stop driving immediately. You don’t want to cause any further damage.

MAP sensor failure can lead to a malfunctioning throttle that can create trouble on the road. It can also cause damage to the motor, which will become expensive to repair. 

What Repairs Can Fix the P0106 Code?

After your in-depth diagnosis, you will be able to figure out how to fix the P0106 trouble code. Here are a few that most people find appropriate.

• Replace MAP/BARO sensor
• Repair electrical short
• Repair vacuum leak
• Fix exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system
• Update/replace PCM

Common P0106 Diagnosis Mistakes

With the P0106 code, many people jump right into fixing what they think is a defective sensor. While this might seem to be the obvious fix, it shouldn’t be the first assumption.

Instead, it’s best to examine the system and look for faulty wiring. It’s also possible that the sensor is just contaminated and needs to be cleaned or reseated. 

How to Diagnose the P0106 Trouble Code

With a high-quality code scanner, you can diagnose the P0106 DTC just like the professionals would. I recommend starting with the service manual for your vehicle. However, I do have some general steps you could also use.

Here are a few basic guidelines.

• Check all of the trouble codes. Use freeze frame data for more information.
• Check the intake duct and air intake hose for cracks or leaks. You want all of the clamps to be tight and secure.
• Look over the wiring and connectors to ensure a proper fit. 
• Turn the ignition ON, but avoid starting the engine for now.
• With your scan tool, evaluate the MAP sensor data. You should see a drop from 4.5 to 1 volt. If you aren’t seeing this drop, there could be an issue with the sensor or wiring.
• You can test the MAP sensor with a vacuum pump. Without starting the engine, send 20 inches of vacuum pressure to see if the voltage drops. If it doesn’t drop, clean the hose and port before testing again.
• You can also use a multimeter to examine the wiring of the MAP sensor. By touching your multimeter to the MAP sensor, you should see a five-volt reading. If you don’t see that, connect this wire to the car’s PCM. If this connection creates the right voltage, there could be a short. 

Beyond this diagnosis, it’s best to get help from a professional. While it’s unlikely that the EGR system or PCM are causing the problems, both are possible. However, without a high level of expertise, you don’t want to mess with either of these. 

Estimated P0106 Repair Cost

With your proper diagnosis, you will know what part needs to be replaced. I outline the approximate parts and labor cost so you know what you are looking at.

• Replace MAP/BARO sensor – $75-$250
• Repair electrical short – $50-$550
• Repair vacuum leak – $125-$850
• Fix exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system – $100-$650
• Update/replace PCM – $250-$2,500

Mechanics Tips about the P0106 Code

The PCM needs the data coming from the MAP sensor to evaluate the proper fuel delivery and engine load. It can also be used for EGR function and ignition timing. The MAP sensor measures the intake manifold pressure. On the other hand, the Barometric (BARO) Pressure sensor is used to determine the atmospheric pressure. In most cases, these two sensors are combined into one.

However, not every vehicle has a MAP sensor. In these cases, the computer uses the mass airflow (MAF) sensor to figure out the appropriate amount of fuel to use. Additionally, the car could have a MAF sensor for the main operation and a MAP sensor used as the backup.

P0106 Code – What Does It Mean & How To Fix It

This is one of the most frequent  OBD2 trouble codes . Read the full article below to know what it means, how to fix it, and what other codes may show related to it.

The definition of a P0106 trouble code is “Manifold Air Pressure (MAP) Barometric Pressure Sensor Electric Circuit Output Range and Performance Problem.”

P0106 is the OBD-II general code for an issue with the MAP circuit. It indicates the MAP circuit is having a problem with an incorrect voltage output range. This can also mean that the vehicle is having an issue with engine performance.

The MAP sensor plays a critical role in the fuel injection system. It sends signals to the Engine Control Unit ( ECU ) which makes for smoother operation and better fuel economy, along with the proper power and performance.

The source of the problem is that the MAP sensor range voltage output is incorrect. It is out of the programmed input that is required by the ECU .

The most common problem that tends to cause a P0106 trouble code is that an air intake system vacuum or intake hose is loose, cracked, or missing its plastic fittings and clamps.

The wiring or MAP sensor may be bad, brittle, cracked, have a bad connection or be too close to the higher voltage consumption components. They could be especially close to the alternators, ignition wires and other components as well.

A poor electrical ground can cause issues related to a P0106 trouble code. The sensor itself may be operating out of range. This can be caused by the fatigue of its internal components.

MAP sensors have to operate within specific ranges to send correct signals for the ECU . This is so that they can coordinate with the throttle position sensor and adjust correctly for the proper operation and running of the engine.

If the engine is not in good condition, is missing pieces or parts, has poor fuel pressure or  has an internal issue such as a burned valve , it can prevent the MAP sensor from receiving the correct output. There is a chance that the ECU could be faulty, but that is a rare cause for this problem.

P0106 code will be generally preceded by the Check Engine Light coming on the dashboard display. The vehicle in most cases will not run well, idle poorly, accelerate erratically, run rich, and backfire because the MAP sensor and throttle position sensor will not operate together properly.

If you see a P0106 on your OBD- II scanner , a qualified technician should then reset the OBD- II fault codes. Then, that mechanic should perform a road test of the vehicle to see if the code returns.

The mechanic will be able to observe by watching live data streaming on the scanner while driving the vehicle . If the code comes back, the mechanic will need to perform a close inspection to see if the vacuum line and other hoses on the intake system are missing, loose, damaged, or disconnected. If these all appear to be correct and in proper working order, the technician should do a voltage output test on the sensor while the engine is running. This will help them determine if the output voltages fluctuate with engine speed and with the load put on the engine. They should be sure that all grounds are operating correctly since any ground related to the ECU could cause signal fluctuations from sensors .

Common mistakes

Diagnostic errors are typically due to not following the proper procedure, listed above. First, follow the test procedure in the diagnosis to ensure there are no intake air leaks such as a bad vacuum hose or connection. The technician must verify the voltage output of the MAP sensor is correct and fluctuates with the engine speed and proper voltage. Idle voltage is normally 1 to 1.5 volts and full throttle is usually around 4.5 volts. You should not buy a new MAP Sensor or ECU unless they are clearly at fault.

How serious is this?

The P0106 code will result in a poor running engine. Therefore, this is a problem that requires immediate attention. Take the vehicle to a skilled mechanic so you can have the vehicle diagnosed as soon as possible. The MAP sensor problem can cause excessive fuel consumption, rough operation and difficulty starting in some circumstances. It can cause other damage if the owner continues to drive it without proper diagnosis and repair. Occasionally, if no problems are found, the technician will be able to reset the fault codes and retest it to see if the code or engine light comes back on.

If the engine warning light turns on immediately at the startup of the vehicle , the OBD- II system can be reset and the vehicle should continue to operate normally.

What repairs can fix the code?

• Verify the code with an OBD-II scanner , here’s a great one we use daily.
• Reset the fault codes and perform a road test of the vehicle .
• If the P0106 code comes back, follow the test procedure.
• Inspect the vacuum lines and intake hoses for cracks, loose or missing parts and the electrical connector and wiring. Disconnect the electrical connector and then reinstall it to make sure it has a fresh and positive electrical connection. Check the voltage output on the MAP sensor to see if it falls within the correct range.
• At this point, it is best to determine if the MAP sensor is defective and if it has no or incorrect output, then replace the MAP sensor . If all checks are good, then a final test to determine if the ECU is bad must be done.

What Does Code P0106 Mean?

• P0106 definition: Manifold Air Pressure (MAP) Barometric Pressure Sensor Electric Circuit Output Range and Performance Problem
• Issue Severity: SEVERE – Stop driving immediately 
• Repair Urgency: Fix this code immediately (same day if possible) to avoid damage to your emission system and internal engine damage.
• Diagnosis: When Code P0106 is triggered, it is important that you address the problem as soon as possible. An issue with your MAP sensor can lead to noticeable engine problems, increased blowback smoke, and a lack of fuel efficiency. This is because your MAP isn’t communicating properly with your Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) or your PCM.

Your car has a Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor that communicates with your Power Control Module (PCM) in order to measure and control your engine’s load. Your PCM needs the data from your MAP sensor in order to control several important components of your vehicle, including parts of your ECM and your fuel ratio. Typically, the MAP sensor should be sending a signal to your PCM that is between 1 to 4.5 volts depending on whether your car is at idle, full throttle, or somewhere in between. Code P0106 is triggered when your PCM sees that voltage moving up and down in an erratic way, or that there is no corresponding change in engine load.

P0106 Causes

There are many potential causes of code P0106.

• Faulty MAP sensor

P0106 Code: Diagnosis & Troubleshooting

If you’re a car owner, then you must have come across the dreaded Check Engine light at some point. This little yellow or orange light is meant to alert you that something’s wrong with your vehicle and that it needs attention right away.

One of the most common reasons for this warning to appear on your dashboard is the P0106 code. The P0106 code refers to an issue in your vehicle’s manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor circuit.

The MAP sensor measures the air pressure inside your engine’s intake manifold and sends this information to your car’s computer system.

When there’s a problem with this sensor or its wiring, the computer can’t accurately determine how much fuel to inject into the combustion chamber, leading to poor performance, low gas mileage, and other issues. In this article, we’ll explore what causes the P0106 code, how to diagnose it, and what steps you can take to fix it.

What Is the P0106 Code?

The P0106 code is a diagnostic trouble code that indicates there is an issue with the manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor. This sensor plays a crucial role in helping your vehicle’s engine control module (ECM) measure the amount of air entering the engine and adjust fuel injection accordingly.

When the MAP sensor fails, it can cause various problems, such as rough idling, decreased power and acceleration, and even stalling. The most common cause of this fault code is a damaged or faulty MAP sensor itself. However, other issues like vacuum leaks or wiring problems could also trigger this error message.

It’s important to have your mechanic diagnose and fix any issues related to the p0106 code promptly to prevent further damage to your car and ensure optimal performance on the road.

How Does the Map Sensor Work?

As the old saying goes, knowledge is power.

So let’s dive deeper into understanding how the MAP sensor works and its role in triggering a p0106 code.

The map sensor measures the pressure within the air intake system vacuum and sends this data to the engine control unit (ECU).

This information helps the ECU adjust fuel injection rates based on altitude and other factors that affect air density.

If there is an issue with the MAP sensor or its wiring, it can cause a discrepancy in readings, leading to a p0106 code being triggered by the ECU.

It is important to diagnose and fix any issues with your MAP sensor, as they can lead to decreased performance and potentially harm your engine over time.

What Causes the P0106 Code?

When it comes to the P0106 code, there could be a variety of causes .

The most common culprit is a faulty MAP sensor.

However, before replacing the sensor, make sure to perform a voltage output test on it to rule out any wiring issues or other potential problems.

Other factors that may contribute to this error code include vacuum leaks in the intake manifold, clogged air filters , and damaged or corroded electrical connections.

It’s important to address these underlying issues promptly to prevent further damage to your vehicle’s engine and ensure optimal performance.

So if you’re experiencing the P0106 code, don’t panic; instead, take a methodical approach and work through each possible cause until you find the root of the problem.

Diagnosing the P0106 Code

One interesting statistic related to the p0106 code is that it’s one of the most common trouble codes found in vehicles with a map sensor.

Diagnosing this code requires an understanding of how the map sensor works and its role in monitoring engine performance.

The p0106 code indicates that there is a problem with the pressure circuit range performance of the map sensor, which can affect fuel efficiency and cause drivability issues such as stalling or hesitation during acceleration .

To diagnose this issue, technicians need to use a scan tool to read live data from the sensor and check for any abnormalities in the voltage readings.

They may also perform a visual inspection of the wiring and connections to ensure they’re properly connected and not damaged.

Once diagnosed, repairs typically involve replacing the faulty component or repairing any damages to the wiring or connectors.

It’s important to address this issue promptly since ignoring it can lead to further damage down the road.

Replacing the Map Sensor

After diagnosing the P0106 code, it has been discovered that a faulty MAP sensor is causing this issue. The next step to fixing this problem is replacing the MAP sensor.

The map sensor plays an essential role in measuring and monitoring the manifold absolute pressure of your vehicle’s engine. When there is a malfunction with the MAP sensor, it can affect the performance of your car and trigger the P0106 code on the engine control unit (ECU).

Replacing a damaged or worn-out MAP sensor will help restore normal function to your vehicle and eliminate any error codes such as P0106 from appearing again. Therefore, if you have encountered this error code on your ECU, replace it with a new quality component for optimal performance results.

Testing the New Map Sensor

After replacing the faulty MAP sensor, it is important to test its functionality for proper engine performance.

The first step in testing the new MAP sensor is to ensure that all connections are secure and properly seated.

Next, use a multimeter to check the voltage output of the sensor while the engine is running.

Compare this reading to the manufacturer’s specifications to determine if the sensor is functioning within acceptable parameters.

If there are any discrepancies, further diagnosis may be necessary.

It should also be noted that a p0106 code indicating an issue with the MAP sensor can sometimes be caused by other factors, such as vacuum leaks or wiring issues.

Therefore, thorough troubleshooting should always be performed before assuming that the replacement of the MAP sensor will solve all problems related to engine performance.

Resetting the ECU

If you’re experiencing a p0106 code, resetting the ECU might be necessary. This can help to clear any stored data and reset the system to its default settings.

However, it’s important to note that simply resetting the ECU may not solve the issue causing the p0106 code. It could also indicate a problem with the throttle position sensor or other components in the engine system.

Before attempting to reset the ECU, it’s recommended to first diagnose and address any underlying issues. To reset the ECU, locate and remove the negative battery cable from your vehicle’s battery for at least 30 minutes.

After this time has passed, reconnect the cable and start your car as normal. The ECU will now begin recalibrating itself based on current conditions.

If, after doing this step, you still experience problems related to the p0106 code, it is best if you consult a professional mechanic who can further inspect and repair your vehicle accordingly without further damaging anything else in your engine system.

Preventative Maintenance Tips

The engine warning light is something no car owner wants to see. It can be caused by a multitude of issues, including the p0106 code, which indicates an issue with the Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor circuit range or performance.

However, preventative maintenance tips can help reduce the chances of experiencing such problems and ensure your vehicle runs smoothly for years to come.

Here are some essential preventative maintenance tips every car owner should follow:

• Regularly change oil and filters: This ensures that the engine remains clean and lubricated, reducing wear and tear on its components.
• Keep tires properly inflated: Proper tire pressure not only improves fuel efficiency but also helps prevent accidents due to blowouts or poor handling.

96 3L Plymouth Voyager Stalling issues

• Add to quote

I have a 96 Plymouth Voyager 3L V6. Just recently my wife mentioned that the Van would kill at random times will driving. I drove it recently, and it did the same thing. It would kill, but then start up right away. It seems to only do this when it is cold. I have read through the forum and it seems when this issue is happening it is the Cam Pressure Sensor. For some reason the check engine light (which has been on) turned off. I stopped by an auto store and used their diagnostic tool to check it. The only code that came up was P0106 which is the Map sensor or Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor. Are these the symptoms of a bad MAP sensor. One mechanic I asked said a bad MAP sensor will cause the engine to run rough. My wifes ony comment was that it ran "sluggish" at times. It seems to run fine for me now. I also could not find a cam pressure sensor even available for this car at the auto store...only a crank sensor and a crankshaft pressure sensor. They do have MAP sensors though. Any insights would be great. Thanks! Rick  

When it stalled (cold) were you declereating for corners or such? If it does not stall when warm usually ponts to a problem with the IAC (Idle Air Control) Try cleaning the Iac port in the throttle body. Friends 3.3L engine stalled only when cold replaced it and disconnected battery for a few minutes and has not stalled since. Does it run roughly when cold?  

My wife says (she mostly drives it) that it stalled more often when accelerating, like from a stop. When it died for me (2-3 times) I was cruising on the freeway:Wow1:. She describes the van is driving more "sluggish" than rough running. She says sometime it will start to act like it is going to stall, and it seems to kick back in and start going again (without restarting or stopping) I drove it alot today hoping I would have issues so I could check it out more. It drove just fine for me. So the issue seems very tempermental. Thanks for your suggestions. Where is the throttle body located? I suppose I should just get a manual. Are there online manuals (I got one free for my 79 Suzuki 750). Rick  

Check this vidoe out, it explains the MAP sensor: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijK2LsN8ipw Check the wire connector to make sure it is not loose or corroded. There are a couple online service manuals, autozone.com you need to register now but its free, and look in the Important Vehicle Recalls and Safety in this forum for the Free Online service manuals, follow the directions and you're in. A Haynes manual is helpful to have. How many miles on vehicle?? Throttle body is located on the intake manifold, the air cleaner hose connects to it, it like a carburetor. Usually a bad crankshaft sensor will cause a stall when warm then it has to cool off before it starts again.  

I'm just thinking the fuel pressure regulator and/or throttle position sensor.  

Can't say anything suggested so far isn't a possibility. Yes I have read about MAP sensors creating stalls. Rough running or hesitating is the more common symptom. It all depends on the fail mode. Here's a bit more info on a P0106 code: http://www.obd-codes.com/p0106 Hopefully when they read the code for you they also cleared it. If not you can do the same by disconnecting the negative battery lead for a few minutes. If the code comes back I'd first inspect the wire harness and connection for corrosion, bent/pushed pins, and frayed wires. If all looks good change the sensor. Sounds like someone is leading you astray on sensor nomenclatures. You have a camshaft position sensor, a crankshaft position sensor, and a manifold absolute pressure sensor. I haven't checked lately but, www.rockauto.com should have all three listed. Keep in mind both cam and crank sensors are infamous for creating stalling issues and many times won't generate a fail code.  

Thanks so much for all of your help. If the camshaft and crankshaft pressure sensors don't show up on the readout, do you just start replacing them, least expensive first? Or can you pull the sensors out and test them? Thanks again! Rick  

Accoring to the online service manual the camshaft sensor is intergal to the distributor and you must replace distributor. The crankshaft sensor has a paper spacer on them to insure proper gap setting of the sensor, so when you remove the existing sensor and reinstall you must make sure old spacer is removed and a new spacer is installed. If you install a new sensor make sure the paper spacer is attached. Being it is a intermittent problem I would replace the crankshaft sensor rather then testing. You may be able to test the sensor but I do not know the procedure. Like sideburns states I would also check the fuel pressure (fuel pump and regulator) along with testing the throttle position sensor. The sluggish sympton could be a result of either. I would clean the throttle body first with throttle body cleaner and a old tootbrush to makes sure throttle body plate is working properly. just my thoughts
