Apply 15 inches Hg to MAP sensor while monitoring MAP sensor value on scan tool. If MAP sensor value changes, go to next step. If MAP sensor value does not change, go to step  6.
  5. Turn ignition off. Remove MAP sensor vacuum hose from manifold port. Inspect manifold port and hose for restriction. Repair as necessary. After repairs, go to step  7. If no problems were found, go to next step.
  6. Replace MAP sensor. After repairs, go to next step.
  7. Using scan tool, clear DTCs. Start engine and allow it to reach normal operating temperature. Operate vehicle within conditions required to duplicate DTC. Select SPECIFIC DTC function then enter this DTC. If scan tool indicates that this DTC test ran and passed, go to next step. If scan tool does not indicate that this DTC test ran and passed, go to step  2.
