Technical Details and Compatibility

The AS36 MAP sensor features a single female plug-in connector with three male pin terminals, providing a secure and reliable electrical connection. This configuration is essential for proper communication with the vehicle's engine control unit (ECU). Compatible with Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth models including Caravan, Concorde, Dynasty, Grand Caravan, Grand Voyager, Imperial, Intrepid, LHS, New Yorker, Town & Country, and Voyager, this sensor meets the specific requirements for these vehicles' emission control systems.

Function and Application

The manifold absolute pressure sensor measures the pressure inside the intake manifold, which is critical for calculating air density and determining the engine's air mass flow rate. This data allows the ECU to adjust fuel injection and ignition timing accurately.

• Helps resolve rough idling and engine stalling issues
• Improves fuel efficiency by providing accurate air pressure data
• Reduces emissions by optimizing combustion
• Prevents check engine light triggers related to MAP sensor faults
• Supports proper engine load sensing for smooth acceleration

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Standard Ignition AS36 sensor, ensure the connector is fully seated and the three-pin terminals align correctly to avoid electrical faults. It is recommended to disconnect the battery before installation to prevent any electrical shorts. Verify compatibility with your specific vehicle model and engine type prior to installation.

Quality Assurance and Warranty

Standard Ignition parts are manufactured to meet or exceed OEM specifications, ensuring reliable performance and durability. The AS36 MAP sensor undergoes rigorous testing to maintain quality standards. Warranty coverage details should be confirmed at the point of purchase, as they may vary by distributor.
