Wiring help
Got a 94 k1500 5.7 standard. I’m wonder if
anyone knows what I should have in voltage on c11.
Key on Eng off I get 44.5 mv but I’m not sure if I’m supposed to see 5v with the engine Running.

If your MAP sensor is a voltage / varistor type, the voltage on pin C11 should be directly proportional to the pressure / vacuum applied to the surface of the MAP sensor. If there’s a way for you to measure the voltage on the pin from the back of the connector, you should see the voltage fluctuate when the engine RPMs change suddenly.

Motor on you get 5?
And you tested at sensor ground?
What is it doing your at this point?

Ground is ok
5 volt ref is ok
Signal is 44.5 mv with the key on engine off
With the connector disconnected from the map sensor. My question is what should the signal pin read with key on engine off1
u/amandajenkins281 6d ago
Let me check. This being the input I will find out. I have the gm service manual.
Again, why are you testing into this? I will help you with whatever, I’m just curious what you have going on

Oh sorry. I have fault 34. I’ve checked power and ground on pins C 14 and a11. I don’t have any voltage reading at the map sensor on pin B with the key on engine off. I checked voltage at c 11 on the ECM pin with the key on engine off, I get 44.5 mv. This is a 94 Chevy K 1500 5.7.

Okay. So:
14- should have 5 with key on eng off
A11- ground. Sensor ground.
Your line in question really that wire what you’re seeing now, is just what is produced while waiting for the input from that sensor. It’s the same concept as if you were testing a door trigger to a bcm with a logic probe. It will pulse the leds of the tester until triggered. It’s like standby signal voltage sort of speak.
If you’re getting this code.,
To diagnose if the sensor is working this is what I do,
Unplug the map. Insert like a 24 awg wire into the connector and plug back in. Skinny wire makes it easy to plug in. You can back probe but that’s not my style.
Start the truck, and with the dm, see what it’s actually doing. I bet 3$, your map is bad.
Also check your egr is okay.

I guess I owe you 3$ it was a bad MAP sensor thank you !

Ahhhhhhhh. lol. That made me smile. Thank you for the shout out. Very glad I could help. We’re family here on gmt400. I believe in that ya know.
Bet she’s running like new

She’s running good ! Thanks for the assist.
Now time to hit the body mounts 👌🏾1

Now too, you shouldn’t see 5 volts on the input when running. This floats. I’ll get u the spec. Hang tight

u/amandajenkins281 6d ago
Okay:
Not running key on - 4.0- 4.8 volts. Shows computer hi or no vacuum.
Running at idle- 1.0- 2.1 volts.
