P0108

Medium Severity

MAP/BARO Sensor Circuit High Input

Fuel System

What Does P0108 Mean?

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

Common Fix

Replace MAP sensor

Estimated Cost (DIY)

$20 - $80

Symptoms

How to Diagnose P0108

  1. 1Check MAP sensor connector
  2. 2Measure sensor output voltage with KOEO
  3. 3Check signal wire for open circuit
  4. 4Replace sensor if stuck high

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a vacuum leak cause P0108?
Yes, a large vacuum leak can cause MAP readings to stay high (near atmospheric pressure), triggering P0108.
How do I test a MAP sensor?
With ignition on, MAP sensor should read about 4.5V at atmospheric pressure and drop to 1-2V at idle vacuum.
