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

  1. Retrieve freeze frame and live data. Note MAP voltage and kPa and conditions when code set (engine load, rpm, boost).
  2. 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.
  3. Measure sensor ground continuity to chassis/ECU. Repair any poor grounds.
  4. Backprobe the signal wire with a multimeter or oscilloscope. Check for voltage exceeding expected range or stuck at battery voltage.
  5. Inspect wiring harness and connector for chafing, pin corrosion, melted insulation, or signs of short to power. Repair wiring as required.
  6. 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.
  7. If signal is correct with known-good sensor, suspect ECU driver circuit—verify ECU connector and continuity, consider ECU diagnosis/repair.
  8. 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.
  9. 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
