P2A0B

Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor B Circuit Range/Performance

Moderate severity

What it means

The MAP B signal does not correlate with TPS, MAF, or RPM as expected. Vacuum leak, restricted port, or sensor drift.

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.

Most likely causes

  • Vacuum leak in intake

    high

    One of the most commonly reported causes for this code — check this first.

  • Sensor zero drifted

    medium

    A plausible cause — test and verify before replacing parts.

  • Sensor element aged beyond calibration window

    low

    Less common, but worth ruling out after the more likely causes.
