Hyundai Genesis (DH): Engine Control System / Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor (MAPS) Description and Operation
Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor (MAPS) is a speed-density
type sensor and is installed on the surge tank. It senses absolute
pressure of the surge tank and transfers the analog signal proportional
to the pressure to the ECM.
By using this signal, the ECM calculates the intake air quantity and engine speed.
The MAPS consists of a piezo-electric element and a hybrid IC
amplifying the element output signal. The element is silicon diaphragm
type and adapts pressure sensitive variable resistor effect of
semi-conductor.
Because one side of the silicon diaphragm is 100% vacuum and
the other is affected by the manifold pressure, this sensor can output
analog signal by using the silicon variation proportional to pressure
change.

Inspection
1.

Removal
1.
If the compressor is marginally operable, run the engine at
idle speed, and let the air conditioning work for a few minutes, then
shut the engine off.
2.
Disconnect the negative (-) battery terminal.
3.
Remove the engine room cover.
Description
This system maintains the density of carbon dioxide
constantly in vehicle interior by measuring the amount of carbon dioxide
to increase the comfortableness and the fuel consumption rate when air
conditioning system is operating.
