P2073 MAP Sensor Signal Higher Than Expected
    

1.
Vacuum leak check:

Vacuum leak check
?1.
Check for vacuum leaks in these parts:
PCV valve
PCV hose
EVAP canister purge valve
Throttle body
Intake manifold
Brake booster
Brake booster hose

Are there any vacuum leaks?

     
YES
     
     
     
Repair or replace the parts with vacuum leaks.?
     
NO
     
     
     
Go to step 2.
2.
MAP sensor performance check:

MAP sensor performance check
?1.
Start the engine.

?2.
Hold the engine speed at 3,000 rpm without load (CVT in P or N, M/T in neutral) until the radiator fan comes on, then let it idle.

?3.
Check the parameter(s) below with the HDS for 5 seconds.

Problem verification:

Problem verification
?1.
Clear the DTC with the HDS.


?2.
Test-drive the vehicle under these conditions:
Engine coolant temperature (ECT SENSOR 1) above 158 °F (70 °C)
Engine speed between 1,200?6,600 rpm
CVT in D, M/T in 4th or 5th
Drive at a steady speed between 55?75 mph (90?120 km/h) for 10 seconds, then decelerate (with the throttle fully closed) for 2 seconds or more

Monitor the OBD STATUS for DTC P2073 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS.
DTC Description
OBD STATUS
P2073 MAP Sensor Signal Higher Than Expected
  

Does the HDS indicate FAILED?

     
YES
     
     
     
The failure is duplicated. Replace the MAP sensor.?
     
NO
     
     
     
If the HDS indicates PASSED, intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the MAP sensor and the PCM. If the on-board snapshot of this DTC is recorded, try to reproduce the failure under the same conditions with the on-board snapshot. If the HDS indicates NOT COMPLETED, go to step 3-2 and recheck.?
