P0107 — Manifold Absolute Pressure/Barometric Pressure Circuit Low (6.7 Power Stroke)
P0107 means the PCM sees the MAP/BARO sensor signal below the valid range on a 6.7 Powerstroke. The code is defined under SAE J2012 and affects intake…
What it means
The PCM is detecting a MAP/BARO sensor voltage/signal that is lower than the expected valid range. Generic definition: MAP/BARO sensor signal is below the valid range.1
Most likely causes
- MAP sensor internal failure or drift — The MAP/BARO sensor itself can read low/out of range, producing a low circuit signal to the PCM.1
- MAP sensor connector corrosion, pin damage, or loose connection — Poor terminal contact or moisture in the MAP connector can pull the signal low.1
- MAP sensor wiring short-to-ground or high resistance in the signal/return circuit — Chafed or damaged wiring between the sensor and PCM can bias the signal low.1
- Reference voltage or ground supply issue to the MAP sensor — Low 5 V reference or a compromised sensor ground can make the MAP signal read low.1
- PCM software anomaly affecting MAP/BARO interpretation — PCM reprogramming campaigns exist for this platform and can influence sensor-circuit diagnostics.2
How to diagnose
- Confirm the code and freeze-frame conditions; note engine speed, load, and ambient conditions at set.
- Visually inspect the MAP/BARO sensor, connector, and wiring for damage, corrosion, oil contamination, or chafing; check routing near hot/turbo components.
- Check MAP sensor reference voltage and ground at the connector with key-on/engine-off; compare to spec and to other 5 V sensors.
- Measure MAP signal voltage at idle and with key-on/engine-off; compare to barometric pressure expectations and to a known-good reference.
- Inspect intake tract for leaks or restrictions that could affect manifold pressure readings, as the code affects intake and boost control.
- Review PCM data for related codes or symptoms involving boost control, intake air temperature, or mass air flow circuits.
- If electrical tests are normal, consider PCM software status and applicable service information for reprogramming.
- Document results and clear codes, then perform a controlled road test to verify the fault does not return.
Parts and tools you may need
- Digital multimeter
- Scan tool with live data
- Terminal test light/pin probes
- Dielectric grease
- Basic hand tools for sensor access
Rough cost and difficulty
Parts and labor vary by region and vehicle condition. Electrical diagnosis typically requires minimal parts if the issue is wiring/connector related; a MAP sensor replacement is a common repair when the sensor is faulty.
When to see a pro
If wiring faults are suspected in high-pressure or safety-critical circuits, or if PCM reprogramming is required, have the vehicle evaluated by a qualified diesel technician. Do not attempt repairs to high-pressure fuel or brake systems without proper training and equipment.
