Default SES lights on...

I hooked up a scanner and its giving me a code "33" which states that somethings wrong with the map sensor. i had swapped it out and still its coming up with the problem. does anyone have the value of what should be coming out of the electrical pigtail going into the map sensor so i can test it ? (and yes i searched)

Give this a try....

Typical Readings:
Sensor output voltage range is 0.5 to 4.5 volts.

Output voltages between 0.5 and 1.5 volts indicate a high vacuum (low pressure) situation, such as idle or deceleration.

Output voltages between 1.5 and 3.0 volts indicate a medium level of vacuum (pressure) such as a cruise or slight acceleration condition.

Output voltages between 3.0 and 4.5 volts indicate a low vacuum (high pressure) situation such as hard acceleration or a mechanical failure.

Any reading of 0 volts or over 4.5 volts indicates a problem.

good info in here. Did you ckeck for vac leaks around the intake? Try spraying some Carb/choke cleaner around the intake manifold area and see if the idle comes up at all. If it does, you have a vac leak somewhere.

No prob glad I could help..


Yes Black should be ground and the white I believe should be the source from the ECU.....

I will double check it though....
