P0108: Manifold pressure (MAP) sensor circuit high input
Fix soonSystem: Engine sensors
What P0108 means
The MAP sensor signal is higher than the computer expects.
Common symptoms
- Rough or unstable idle
- Loss of power

Common causes
- Faulty MAP (manifold pressure) sensor
- Damaged wiring, corroded connector or blown fuse
- Vacuum or intake air leak
Can I keep driving?
Fix soon. Usually drivable for a short time, but get it checked soon. Ignoring it can waste fuel, raise emissions and lead to more damage.
What to do next
- Write down the code and any symptoms you notice.
- Check the simple things first: the fuel cap, loose connectors and fluid levels where they apply.
- Do not just clear the code. If the light comes back, the cause is still there and needs a proper diagnosis.
- Read live data and freeze frame data with an OBD-II scanner app to see what the car was doing when the code was set.
