Code result
P0106
Manifold Absolute Pressure/Barometric Pressure Circuit Range/Performance
Moderate severity
What it means
The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor signal is implausible relative to throttle position and engine speed. The ECU expects MAP to rise with throttle opening and fall under deceleration; deviation triggers the code.
Is it safe to drive?
Use caution
The vehicle is usually drivable for short distances, but the problem can worsen or affect emissions. Diagnose and repair as soon as practical.
