P0107: Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor circuit low
The ECU sees a voltage that is too low from the manifold pressure sensor. Usually the connector, a broken or earthed wire, or the sensor.

What P0107 means
The MAP sensor sends a voltage that rises with manifold pressure. If the ECU sees it below what is possible, it stores this code. It is almost always electrical: the 5 volt supply is missing, the signal wire is broken or touching earth, or the sensor has failed.
Most common causes
- MAP sensor connector unplugged, loose or corroded
- Signal or supply wire broken
- Chafed wire touching earth
- A faulty MAP sensor
- A short in another sensor sharing the same 5 volt supply
Symptoms
- Engine warning light on
- Loss of power, sometimes with limp mode
- Unstable idle or hard starting
- Higher fuel consumption
Can you drive with P0107?
With care You can drive, but the engine is running on backup values and performs less well. Get it fixed soon.
How to check it
With the ignition on and the engine off, check manifold pressure in live data: if it shows a very low value or zero instead of atmospheric pressure, the fault is electrical. Check first that the connector is fully seated.
How to read and clear P0107 with Final OBD
Plug an OBD2 scanner in under the steering wheel, switch the ignition on and open Final OBD. Under Faults you’ll see P0107 with this same explanation and whether it’s confirmed, pending or permanent.
With Free you read this code with its short description for nothing, and clear it if the engine stores it over standard OBD. With Pro you get the full explanation, how the car was running when it was logged (revs, temperature, load) and clearing in every control unit.
Clearing the code only turns the light off: if the cause is still there, it comes back. Clear it once it’s fixed, and not right before the ITV. It’s all in how to read and clear fault codes and in the ITV and OBD.

P0107 is a generic code, so it means the same on any make, for example on Abarth, Citroën, Cupra, Hyundai, Mini, Seat. See what Final OBD does on your car in makes and models.

How do you clear P0107?
With an OBD2 scanner and an app like Final OBD, which clears it for free if it’s stored by the engine control unit. But clearing it only turns the light off: if the cause isn’t fixed, P0107 comes back.
Read it on your car
Final OBD reads the faults of every control unit for free, including each make’s own codes, and with Pro explains each one in plain English. Free clears engine faults at no cost.
