Hyundai Tucson: Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor (MAPS)

Description

Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor (MAPS) is a speed-density type sensor and is installed on the surge tank. It senses absolute pressure of the surge tank and transfers the analog signal proportional to the pressure to the ECM. By using this signal, the ECM calculates the intake air quantity and engine speed.

The MAPS consists of a piezo-electric element and a hybrid IC amplifying the element output signal.

The element is silicon diaphragm type and adapts pressure sensitive variable resistor effect of semiconductor.

Because 100% vacuum and the manifold pressure apply to both sides of the sensor respectively, this sensor can output analog signal by using the silicon variation proportional to pressure change.

Inspection

1. Connect a diagnostic tool on Data Link Connector (DLC).
2. Check MAPS output voltage at idle and IG ON.

Removal

1. Turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect the battery negative (-) terminal.
2. Disconnect the manifold absolute pressure sensor connector (A).
3. Remove the manifold absolute pressure sensor (B) after loosening the bolt.
