These pesky little creatures chewed off the plug to my MAP sensor on the intake manifold. One of them was chewed up right at the plug, so I had no way of splicing the wires, except cracking the plug open so I could access the wire inside the plug and splice it there, however, this is not a permanent solution.

The chewed wires triggered a check engine light. Is this going to cause any problems? I have it hooked back up now, but I am still getting a CEL. I suppose I am going to have to buy a OBD2 scanner and clear it out, correct?

Now, for the permanent solution, I am going to have to replace the plug. My sensor is fine, I just need a new plug to splice on to the wiring, and can't find one.

 

Repairing the fault or replacing a failed component won't clear the DTC (at least not right away).

The check engine light may eventually go out after enough drive cycles with the fault repaired.

I just find it easier to use an OBDII scan tool to clear DTCs after a repair!!

Thanks, I will have to pick one up. However, I will still need to find a replacement plug for that sensor, and have no idea where to find one.

 

I'm afraid no part of the MAP sensor is sold separately. Google the part code and you should find several shops.

 

I have one off of a old harness. Pm me and I can get you the plug you need.

Thank you, Doctor! PM sent!

Aonsaithya, Thanks for the part number, but my sensor is perfectly fine, I just the wiring and plug that connects to it.
