P0108

MAP/barometric pressure circuit high input

What it means

The MAP/barometric sensor signal voltage is above the circuit threshold. Actual turbo overboost is a separate diagnosis (P0234).

Symptoms

  • reduced power or limp mode, especially on turbo engines
  • hesitation or uneven running
  • higher fuel consumption
  • engine warning light

Likely causes, most likely first

Likely causes, most likely first
No.Cause
01signal short to voltage
02failed MAP sensor
03open sensor ground
04ECU input fault
05damaged connector or chafed wiring

What to check, step by step

  1. 01Inspect the MAP/boost sensor connector and wiring
  2. 02Check the 5 V reference, ground and signal at the sensor
  3. 03Compare the key-on, engine-off reading with local air pressure (about 100 kPa at sea level)
  4. 04Clean the sensor tip of oil or soot deposits, or replace the sensor if the wiring is good
