when replacing my waterpump, idler , and belt I disconnected my battery---upon finishing waterpump job, I reconnected battery, and now have CEL/code po106---had no codes or CEL prior to work ???? disconnected bat again for a while--reconnected, CEL out---drove about 5 miles, lite back on ???any ideas??

 

That comes up as an issue with the MAP sensor

 

I have the same problem code P0106 map sensor?. Looking at old posts they were saying it’s something to do with the sensor either wires or vacuum hose is this correct it is supposed to be a pig to get to as well on a srt.
Any help would be great if anyone as an idea of the position of this sensor.
Thank you

 

That code is the ECU telling you:

1) The signal I am getting from the MAP sensor is SO far out of line, it's an impossible reading. The sensor has to be bad.
OR..........
2) The signal is out of line because the connector has come off teh sensor OR the pins on the connector are so corroded, that current cant flow OR a connector or wire SOMEWHERE between the MAP sensor and ECU has come apart or got snagged on something, grounding it out.

When you see "range/performance" in a DTC, the above is what you are being told, regardless of what sensor we are talking about. It's the ECU saying, "This cant be right, no reading could be this far out".

A code that says: "too high" or "too low" COULD mean a bad sensor, but usually, the sensor is telling the truth and some engine parameter is out of whack -like when you take the breather off and leave it off, you will often get a "too lean" indication.
