OBD2 Error Code P0108: How to Fix It

Q: Can I drive with P0108 error code?

You should avoid driving with P0108 as it can cause poor engine performance, stalling, and potential engine damage. The engine may run rough or fail to start, making driving unsafe.

Q: What causes MAP sensor to read high voltage?

High voltage readings typically result from a disconnected vacuum line, faulty sensor internal circuitry, corroded electrical connections, or damaged wiring sending false high signals to the ECM.

Q: How much does it cost to fix P0108?

DIY repairs typically cost $30-80 for a new MAP sensor plus any needed vacuum hoses. Professional diagnosis and repair usually ranges from $150-300 depending on labor rates and parts needed.

Q: Will P0108 cause my car to fail emissions testing?

Yes, P0108 will typically cause emissions test failure since it affects air-fuel mixture calculations. The code must be resolved and the readiness monitors reset before passing emissions testing.

Q: How often do MAP sensors need replacement?

MAP sensors typically last 60,000-100,000 miles under normal conditions. However, they can fail earlier due to contamination, electrical issues, or exposure to extreme temperatures.

Abstract

OBD2 error code P0108 indicates that your vehicle's Engine Control Module (ECM) is receiving an abnormally high voltage signal from the Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor. This sensor measures intake manifold pressure to help the ECM determine proper fuel delivery and ignition timing. When this code appears, your engine may run rough, stall, or have poor acceleration.
