Error codes P1105 and P1106 refer to issues related to the manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor or barometric pressure sensor. These sensors are crucial for the Engine Control Module (ECM) to monitor and adjust the air-fuel mixture. This article will explore the causes, symptoms, and fixes for these codes, as well as how the iCarsoft CR MAX and CR Eagle can assist in diagnosing and resolving these problems.
"The iCarsoft CR MAX and CR Eagle are powerful diagnostic tools for resolving MAP sensor-related issues."
1. What Do Error Codes P1105 and P1106 Mean?
P1105 and P1106 indicate issues with the manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor or barometric pressure sensor. Specifically:
- P1105: MAP/BARO Circuit Malfunction
- P1106: MAP/BARO Pressure Sensor Range/Performance Problem
These issues can lead to incorrect air-fuel mixture calculations, affecting engine performance and fuel efficiency.
2. How Do the MAP and BARO Sensors Work?
The MAP sensor measures the intake manifold pressure, while the barometric pressure (BARO) sensor monitors atmospheric pressure. Both sensors send voltage signals to the ECM, which uses this data to adjust fuel delivery and ignition timing.
3. Common Causes of Error Codes P1105 and P1106
Several factors can trigger these error codes, including:
- Faulty MAP or BARO sensors
- Wiring or connector issues (e.g., corrosion, damage, or loose connections)
- Vacuum leaks in the intake manifold
- Clogged or dirty MAP sensor
- ECM malfunction
4. Symptoms of Error Codes P1105 and P1106
When these error codes occur, you may experience the following symptoms:
- Illuminated Check Engine Light
- Reduced engine performance
- Poor fuel efficiency
- Rough idling or stalling
- Hesitation during acceleration
5. Diagnosing P1105 and P1106 with CR MAX and CR Eagle
The iCarsoft CR MAX and CR Eagle provide precise diagnostics for detecting MAP/BARO sensor issues. Follow these steps:
- Connect the diagnostic tool to your vehicle's OBD-II port.
- Retrieve the error codes to confirm P1105 or P1106.
- Use live data monitoring to check MAP and BARO sensor readings.
- Inspect the sensors, wiring, and connectors for damage.
"Symptoms like rough idling and poor fuel efficiency may indicate MAP sensor issues."
6. How to Fix Error Codes P1105 and P1106
Once the cause is identified, take the following steps to resolve these codes:
- Replace faulty MAP or BARO sensors.
- Repair or replace damaged wiring or connectors.
- Fix any vacuum leaks in the intake manifold.
- Clean the MAP sensor to remove dirt or debris.
- Reprogram or replace the ECM if necessary.
7. Preventing Error Codes P1105 and P1106
To avoid these issues in the future, follow these maintenance tips:
- Regularly inspect the MAP and BARO sensors for damage or wear.
- Clean the MAP sensor periodically to prevent dirt buildup.
- Perform regular diagnostics with tools like the CR MAX or CR Eagle.
