Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Maintenance and Repair / March 2006OBD-2 Code P0106 for my Mazda
Greetings, I recently ran the OBD code reaqder on y 1999 Mazda protege and received the error code P0106. THe description in the book said it is, "manifold Absolute Pressure/Barometric Pressure Circuit Range/Performance Problem" Does anyone know what this means? Thanks for your help.

The MAP sensor is out of range. Maybe the MAP sensor is bad. Maybe the line from the MAP sensor to the throttle body is bad. Maybe your air filter is insanely clogged. --scott  Signature"C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." Check the vacuum line to the MAP sensor and make sure it is in good shape. No cracks, leaks etc. The computer is seeing voltage that does not fal within range of specs & it will most likely be a vacuum line or the sensor itself. There are other things that can cause it but that's most likely > Greetings, I recently ran the OBD code reaqder on y 1999 Mazda protege > and received the error code P0106.

On my 99 Protege, I have to (carefully) clean the MAP sensor about every 18 months. Last time I also found that the big hose between the air filter and the throttle body was cracked. I imagine that it's a pretty expensive part but a couple pieces of duct tape fixed it and it's been OK for about a year now. Great little car, the Protege. It's on its second kid now...85K miles and going strong... Thanks. Can I ask a stupid question. Where will I find the MAP sensor? > Thanks. Can I ask a stupid question. Where will I find the MAP sensor? From memory because the car isn't here right now...it's in the big hose from from the air cleaner, close to the throttle body. It's right on top with a connector and is held in by a couple of philips head screws. Disconnect the connector and remove the screws (there might be three screws) and then it just lifts out. The part the sticks in the hose, in the airflow, is what needs to be cleaned. Mine is often covered with lint-like gunk that can be carefully brushed off with a very soft little brush and then I gently blow it out with canned air. Treat it gently...it's kind of delicate and if you break the little wire you'll have to replace the sensor. Put it back in place, screw it in, and re-connect the wires. Then clear the code and see if that fixes it. Also check the big hose for cracks or splits in the pleats. Actually, I think it's a MAF (Mass Air Flow) sensor rather than a MAP (Manifold Absolute Pressure) sensor...whatever...
