OBD-II Error Code P0107 - Manifold Absolute Pressure Circuit Low Input

OBD-II Standard OBD-II Major Fuel and Air Metering

Model: SAE J2012 Standard | Code: P0107

Applicable Systems
OBD-II

Symptoms

Check engine light illuminates. The engine may run rich, produce black smoke, idle poorly, or stall. The MAP sensor signal is below the minimum acceptable threshold.

Possible Causes

  • MAP sensor signal circuit shorted to ground
  • Open circuit in MAP sensor ground or signal wire
  • Faulty MAP sensor with low output
  • Cracked vacuum line to MAP sensor
  • Corroded MAP sensor connector

Troubleshooting Steps

  1. Step 1: Connect an OBD-II scan tool and read all stored DTCs and freeze frame data
    All DTCs and freeze frame data are retrieved
  2. Step 2: Inspect the related sensor or actuator wiring for damage, corrosion, or loose connections
    Wiring and connectors are in good condition
  3. Step 3: Use a digital multimeter to check sensor voltage, resistance, and reference signals per manufacturer specifications
    Values are within specified range
  4. Step 4: Perform component-level testing of the suspected sensor or actuator
    Component passes or fails definitively
  5. Step 5: Clear codes and road test to verify repair
    Code does not return and system operates normally

How to Reset

To reset code P0107: 1) Repair the underlying fault. 2) Use an OBD-II scan tool to clear the DTC. 3) Perform a drive cycle to verify the monitor completes. 4) If the code returns, further diagnosis is needed. Caution: Do not clear codes without fixing the root cause.
