00 // CODE DEFINITION

What P0108 means

P0108 indicates that the manifold or barometric-pressure signal voltage is higher than expected.

A signal short to voltage, open ground, sensor failure, or connector fault may cause the condition.

01 // COMMON SYMPTOMS

What you may notice

Rough idle
Poor acceleration
Rich running
Check-engine light
Reduced fuel economy

02 // COMMON CAUSES

What can trigger P0108?

SENSOR

Pressure sensor fault

The sensor may produce an excessively high signal.

WIRING

Signal short to voltage

Damaged wiring may raise the sensor output.

GROUND

Sensor ground fault

A poor ground can distort the signal.

03 // DRIVEABILITY

Can I keep driving with P0108?

SEVERITY MODERATE
DRIVEABILITY MAY BE LIMITED

The vehicle may remain driveable depending on the symptoms. Diagnose the fault soon, especially if performance, fuel economy, starting, shifting, or engine operation has changed.

04 // DIAGNOSTIC ORDER

Start here

01

Review live MAP data

Look for a reading that is fixed or implausibly high.

02

Inspect sensor circuits

Check reference, ground, and signal wiring.

03

Check connector terminals

Look for corrosion or spread terminals.

04

Test sensor response

Verify pressure changes produce an appropriate signal change.

05 // COMMON REPAIR AREAS

Systems commonly involved

These are common areas associated with P0108. Testing should confirm the actual fault before parts are replaced.

SENSOR

Pressure sensor fault

The sensor may produce an excessively high signal.

WIRING

Signal short to voltage

Damaged wiring may raise the sensor output.

GROUND

Sensor ground fault

A poor ground can distort the signal.

06 // DIAGNOSTIC PRINCIPLE

Confirm the fault before replacing parts

P0108 identifies a condition detected by the vehicle control system. It does not automatically identify one failed component. Test the affected system before replacing parts.
