P0109 Acura Manifold Absolute Pressure/Barometric Pressure Sensor Intermittent

Possible causes

– Faulty Manifold Absolute Pressure sensor
– Manifold Absolute Pressure harness is open or shorted
– Manifold Absolute Pressure sensor circuit poor electrical connection
– Faulty Engine Control Module (ECM)

What about the obd code?

The sensor signal to the ECM is failing intermittently.

Symptoms

– Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)
– Engine rough idle

P0109 Acura Description

The Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor provides instantaneous manifold pressure information to the engine’s Engine Control Module (ECM). The data is used to calculate air density and determine the engine’s air mass flow rate, which in turn determines the required fuel metering for optimum combustion. A fuel-injected engine may alternately use a Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor to detect the intake airflow.
