GM MAP sensors

Post by pishta »

GM has 1,2,and 3 bar MAP sensors that are OEM on their products. The MAP part numbers (not complete):
3 digit numbers for identification:
1 Bar: 039, 460, 883, 876, 153, 719 (green connector?)
2 Bar: 886, 012, 539, 609, 701, 539 (tan connector?)
3 Bar: 749, 861

The 2 and 3 BAR sensors have a unique key system in the connector. If the center socket has a vertical key in it, its a 2 or 3 BAR sensor. If there is no key in the center socket its a 1 BAR. Orientation when mounting is important. Mount so the nipple is facing <30 degrees from down so as to prevent moisture from pooling from condensation. Also recommended to mount higher than intake. I found a 2 BAR MAP on a supercharged Pontiac Bonneville. They are not that uncommon in US junkyards. Its mounted right behind the supercharger on a bracket, just follow the hard pressure line from under the pulley and is held on by a T20 torx bolt but a good pair of pliers can grip the bolt and unscrew as the torque spec is low to prevent deformation of the case.

This is example of "no key" 1 BAR sensor socket. Suitable for all reference external MAP sensors

This thread needs self-verified calibrations for each size! And possibly tolerance based calibrations, too, if available.

Im on it. I can only do voltage out at various pressures at 70F if i can get a solid 5.1v out of my almost complete jaguar board. Will attempt tonight.

5.1 is a terrible choice as they're probably ratiometric. But as long as you record your exact voltage, it's fine. Aim for 5.000000 :-p I've seen 5.05 and 5.01 and 4.99 out of these regs. Moving this thread to general hw, too.

After sleeping on it, I realized the 0 output on the 1 BAR is exactly 5.00V. Ill use that as the source voltage and retest the 2 BAR map and see if the voltages are truly proportional with the input voltage, along with a little boost pressure sample from a hand pump.

here is a 2-3 BAR MAP output graph for GM part numbers
Image

here is my recordings using crude vacuum gauge and DMM. Supply voltage was within GM specs of 5.1V +- .36V

Image

freescale is linear from 4.75V@250kpa (2.5BAR or 22 psi)) 1.75V@ 100kpa (0 vacuum sea level) down to .30V@20kpa (28in vacuum)@ 5.1V sorry I didnt have time to convert kpa to in/hg
