Common Next Steps
Turn the code into the next check.
Review fuel trims
Compare trims at idle, 2500 RPM, and cruise before pricing sensors.
Inspect vacuum leaks
Check intake boots, PCV hoses, and post-MAF leak paths.
Check MAF sensor
Inspect MAF contamination and airflow data after intake leaks are considered.
Inspect intake tubing
Look for cracked ducts, loose clamps, and unmetered air after the MAF.
Code Overview
MAP/BARO sensor circuit fault detected.
Common Causes
- MAP sensor failure
- Wiring or connector fault in the MAP circuit
- Vacuum hose or sensor-port problem on systems that use one
- Engine condition affecting manifold vacuum
Symptoms
- Rough idle or hesitation
- Poor power or weak acceleration
- Fuel economy may drop if load calculations are off
Diagnostic Steps
- Compare MAP readings to expected values at key-on and idle
- Inspect the vacuum hose or sensor port for leaks or blockage if equipped
- Verify 5-volt reference, ground, and signal integrity at the sensor
- Inspect connector pins and harness condition before replacing parts
