xv. MANIFOLD AIR PRESSURE SENSOR AND
TEMPERATURE SENSOR (T-MAP)
T-MAP sensor consists of a silicon chip mounted
inside a reference chamber. On one side of the
chip is the reference chamber and on the other
side is the pressure to be measured. The
electrical resistance of the chip varies with the
variation of pressure. This change in resistance
alters the voltage signal. ECM interprets the
voltage signal as pressure and any change in
voltage signal as change in pressure. The
temperature sensor element is a NTC resistor.
COMPONENT LOCATION
T-MAP Sensor is mounted on air intake elbow
between the intake manifold and the intercooler.
PRELIMINARY CHECKS
1. Inlet Air Circuit Clogging.
2. Loose / Damaged connections between
sensor and EMS ECU
3. Check for back out of pins at both sensor
connector and ECU connector.
4. Check for damage of pins at both sensor
connector and ECU connector.

COMPONENT SPECIFICATION
T-MAP Sensor is used to measure the
temperature & pressure of the Intake Air one
before electronic throttle and other on the intake
manifold .The piezo-resistive pressure sensor
element and a suitable circuitry for signal
amplification are integrated on a silicon chip. The
measured pressure operates from above to the
active side of the silicon diaphragm. Temperature
sensor is a NTC Element. The manifold air
pressure sensor is mounted on air intake elbow
between the intake manifold and the intercooler
and the bolt tightened at specified torque.
The T-MAP sensor is a four pin peizo-resistance
semiconductor device with a negative temperature
coefficient. The T-MAP sensor provides intake air
pressure and temperature details to ECU, which
then calculates the correct quantity of fuel to be
injected to each cylinder.
A DC signal voltage is produced by the sensor,
which gets excited due to varying manifold air
pressure which is felt on semiconductor
diaphragm.
