    I've Honda Civic LX 1997, 120,000 Mi. My CEL came on right before I
    need to do a smog check. The error code is 5, MAP Sensor (Manifold
    Absolute Pressure) mechanical problem. How do I test the sensor (or any
    web-link)? I want to make sure it is the problem on the MAP sensor
    before I replace it with a new one.

    There is 3 wires go into the sensor Yellow, Green, and Red. Look like
    the the Red and Green come from the sensor below the air filter. Can I
    check the voltage on the Yellow and see if it vary when I rev the
    engine? What would be the voltage range and where do I put the voltage
    ground? Also any link to sensor specification would really be
    appriciated.

    Is it possible that the problem is not on the MAP Sensor? If so what
    can cause the error code 5?

    Thanks in Advance
    Don

    First of all, don't rely on the MIL-flash for your code. It will show
    Code 5 for FIVE different OBD-II errors:
    P0106 - MAP Sensor range/performance problem
    P0107 - MAP Sensor low-voltage (high vacuum) problem
    P0108 - MAP Sensor high-voltage (low vacuum) problem
    P1128 - MAP lower than expected
    P1129 - MAP higher than expected

    You need to have the code read properly using an OBD-II tester. Testing of
    this component is beyond the average home mechanic, besides replacment of
    the vacuum hose.
