The Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor responds to changes in the intake manifold pressure (vacuum). 5 Volts is supplied to the sensor from the PCM (powertrain control module). Inside the MAP sensor is a resistor that moves in relation to manifold pressure. The resistor varies the voltage between about 1 volt to 4.5 volts (depending on engine load) and that voltage signal is returned to the PCM to indicate manifold pressure (vacuum). This signal is essential for the PCM to determine fuel delivery. A P0107 DTC is set when the PCM sees that the MAP signal voltage is less than .25 volts which is too low.

What does P0129 barometric pressure too low mean and how is it solved?
The P0129 code indicates that the engine's control module has detected a barometric pressure reading that is lower than expected, which can suggest issues such as a faulty MAP sensor, a vacuum leak, or problems with the intake system. To solve this issue, a mechanic typically starts by inspecting the MAP sensor for proper function and checking for any vacuum leaks in the intake system. If necessary, they may also examine related wiring and connectors for damage. Once the underlying problem is identified and repaired, the code can be cleared from the engine’s computer.
The center of a hurricane is characterized by very low what?
A hurricane has very low barometric pressure.
What causes increases in barometric pressures?
Increases in barometric pressure are usually caused by the sinking of air masses or high-pressure systems in the atmosphere. These high-pressure systems bring more air molecules closer to the Earth's surface, resulting in an increase in pressure. Additionally, changes in wind patterns and weather systems can also lead to temporary increases in barometric pressure.
What is the threshold for low barometric pressure?
The threshold for low barometric pressure is typically considered to be below 29.92 inches of mercury (inHg) or 1013.25 millibars (mb).
Are tornadoes formed by low pressure?
Not directly, but the systems that produce tornadoes do have low barometric pressure.
How does humidity impact barometric pressure?
Humidity can impact barometric pressure by affecting the density of the air. When humidity levels are high, the air becomes less dense, causing a decrease in barometric pressure. Conversely, low humidity levels can lead to denser air and an increase in barometric pressure.
Does barometric pressure go up or down in tornadoes?
Barometric pressure goes down in a tornado.
What does code P0107 mean in a 98 Oldsmobile intrigue?
Trouble code P0107 means: Manifold absolute pressure or barometric pressure circuit low input
How low is low?
In meteorology low is the cold air low pressure system that often brings more bad weather do to the lower barometric pressure.
What is considered low barometric pressure and how does it affect weather patterns?
Low barometric pressure is typically considered to be below 29.92 inches of mercury. Low pressure systems are associated with unsettled weather, such as rain, storms, and strong winds. This is because air rises in low pressure areas, leading to the formation of clouds and precipitation.
What is considered normal barometric pressure and how does it affect weather patterns?
Normal barometric pressure is around 1013.25 millibars. Barometric pressure affects weather patterns by indicating the movement of air masses. High pressure typically brings fair weather, while low pressure can bring stormy conditions. Changes in barometric pressure can also influence wind patterns and precipitation.
Is 29.40 high or low for barometric pressure?
A barometric pressure reading of 29.40 inches of mercury (inHg) is considered to be on the lower end of the normal range, which typically spans from about 29.92 inHg at sea level to 30.20 inHg. While it is not extremely low, it could indicate the approach of a storm or low-pressure weather system. In general, lower barometric pressure is associated with unsettled weather conditions.
