The intake manifold pressure sensor

measures the absolute pressure in the
intake manifold after the throttle valve.
In conjunction with the signals from
the speed sensor and the intake air
temperature sensor, it can be used to
calculate the intake air mass.
The absolute pressure acts as a basis for
mixture formation and ignition control.

The boost pressure sensor measures the

absolute pressure before the throttle
valve. The engine control unit uses its
signal to calculate a correction value for
the boost pressure.
Some designs also have an NTC

(NegativeTemperature Coefficient)
as a temperature sensor.
This means that the influence of the
temperature on the density is taken into
account.
The temperature sensor also provides an
input variable for the coolant circuit.
Subject to change. Products may differ from illustrations.

Please note:
The specified test values for the
upper and lower pressure are
absolute pressure values.
Example: At an ambient pressure of

around 1000 mbar, the specified absolute
pressure of 400 mbar corresponds to a
vacuum of around 600 mbar.
Test conditions:
Supply voltage: 5.0 [V]
Temperature: 23 5 [C]
1 kPa = 10 mbar = 0.145 psi

Testing intake manifold / boost pressure sensors

Equipment:
Vacuum hand pump or suitable
vacuum source and manometer
for vacuum
Multimeter or scan tool
For temperature measurement:
Thermometer (up to 100C). Suitable
equipment for generating heat, e.g.
hot air gun
Measurement of output voltage on intake manifold pressure sensor (highlighted)

in Audi A4 TFSI
Testing the supply voltage

Disconnect the plug from the sensor.
Turn on the ignition.
Set the multimeter measuring range to
DC voltage.
Measure the supply voltage between
the pin (C) and earth (A).
Set-point value: 5 V
If this set-point value is not attained,
the fault in the voltage supply must be
located.
An earth fault at the engine

control unit can cause the
measured values from the intake
manifold pressure sensor to be
falsified, resulting in an error
message.
Testing the output signal

Remove the pressure sensor from
the intake manifold.
Connect the vacuum hand pump
to the pressure sensor.
Set the multimeter measuring range
to DC voltage.
Set the lower absolute pressure value
plow (see table, page 3).
Test the lower output signal Ulow
between the pin (B) and earth (A).
Set-point value: See table, page 3
Set the upper absolute pressure
value phigh (see table, page 3).
Test the upper output signal
Uhigh between the pin (B) and earth (A).
Testing the temperature sensor (NTC)

Remove the pressure sensor from
the intake manifold.
Set the multimeter measuring range
to Resistance.
Using a hot air gun (or a similar tool)
and a thermometer, set one of the three
testing points: 25C, 85C or 100C.
Measure the resistance value between
the pin (D) and earth (A).
If a measured value is not

attained, the intake manifold
pressure sensor must be replaced.
