Related Codes

P0107: MAP/BARO Sensor Circuit Low InputRelated

MAP sensor voltage is below the expected minimum. The ECM sees this as extremely high vacuum, causing incorrect fuel calculations.

P0108: MAP/BARO Sensor Circuit High InputRelated

MAP sensor voltage is higher than maximum expected range. The ECM reads this as very low vacuum.

P0171: System Too Lean (Bank 1)Related

The engine is running lean on bank 1 — too much air or not enough fuel. The ECM has maxed out its fuel trim trying to compensate. Common causes include vacuum leaks and dirty MAF sensors.
