  4. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  5. Observe the MAP sensor pressure with the scan tool.
  6. Apply vacuum to the MAP sensor with the J 23738-A  in 1 inch Hg increments until 15 inches Hg is reached. See Special Tools . Each 1 inch Hg should decrease MAP sensor pressure by 3-4 kPa on the scan tool.
