Causes
- Faulty MAP (intake absolute pressure) sensor
- Short circuit in signal or reference wiring (short to battery or 5V reference)
- Open or poor ground at sensor or ECU
- Damaged or corroded sensor connector
- Intake system overpressure (wastegate failure, turbo overboost)
- Blocked/incorrectly routed vacuum/boost hoses or restricted intake
Symptoms
- Check Engine Light (MIL) illuminated
- Poor idle, stalling, or rough running
- Loss of power, reduced drivability or limp‑in mode
- Higher than normal fuel consumption
- Turbo boost control issues (if turbocharged): overboost or unexpected boost behavior
- Possible intermittent faults if wiring is damaged
What to check
- Read freeze frame and live MAP (kPa or inHg) and MAP sensor voltage with a scan tool; note conditions when fault set
- Compare MAP reading to BARO/ambient pressure at key on / engine off
- Verify reference voltage (usually ~5V) and ground at the sensor connector
- Inspect sensor connector and wiring for corrosion, damage, or pin pushed out
- Backprobe signal wire and check for short to battery voltage or to the reference
- Wiggle harness while monitoring live data to reproduce fault
Signal parameters
- Sensor reference voltage: typically ~5.0 V (key on)
- Signal range (typical): ~0.5–4.5 V depending on sensor design (consult vehicle spec)
- Atmospheric pressure at sea level: ~100–105 kPa (sensor should read close to this with engine off and intake open to atmosphere)
- Typical MAP at idle (naturally aspirated): lower than atmospheric (check vehicle spec; often ~20–50 kPa absolute)
- Monitor for signal stuck at a high voltage or reading equal/greater than atmospheric when it should be lower
Diagnostic algorithm
- Retrieve freeze frame and live data. Note MAP voltage and kPa and conditions when code set (engine load, rpm, boost).
- With key ON engine OFF, measure reference voltage at MAP sensor connector. It should be ~5V. If missing or low, trace to ECU harness/connector.
- Measure sensor ground continuity to chassis/ECU. Repair any poor grounds.
- Backprobe the signal wire with a multimeter or oscilloscope. Check for voltage exceeding expected range or stuck at battery voltage.
- Inspect wiring harness and connector for chafing, pin corrosion, melted insulation, or signs of short to power. Repair wiring as required.
- If wiring appears good, remove sensor and bench test or swap with a known good MAP sensor. Confirm proper voltage vs. applied vacuum/pressure per specification.
- If signal is correct with known-good sensor, suspect ECU driver circuit—verify ECU connector and continuity, consider ECU diagnosis/repair.
- If overpressure suspected (turbocharged vehicles), inspect boost control components (wastegate, boost control solenoid, boost hoses) and measure actual intake boost with a gauge to confirm mechanical overboost.
- After repairs, clear codes, perform a road test under same conditions, and re-scan to confirm fault does not return.
Likely causes
- MAP sensor failure or internal short
- Signal wire shorted to 5V or battery voltage
- Bad sensor ground or poor connector contact
- Turbocharger/wastegate control fault causing overboost
Fault status
Status
P1108 — High input detected on the intake absolute pressure (MAP) sensor circuit. Check MAP sensor, wiring/connectors for shorts to voltage or poor ground, and verify intake/boost system pressure.
Repair difficulty: Medium
Diagnostic time: 0.5-2.0 hours
