Volvo Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor - Genuine Volvo 31493966

Product Information

A Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor is an essential component in a vehicle's engine management system. It measures the pressure inside the intake manifold, providing data to the engine control unit (ECU) to help calculate air density and determine the correct air-fuel mixture. This information is critical for optimal engine performance, fuel efficiency, and emissions control.

• Check Engine Light: A malfunctioning MAP sensor often triggers the check engine light, indicating a potential issue with the engine management system
• Poor Engine Performance: If the MAP sensor fails, it can lead to reduced engine power, sluggish acceleration, or hesitation during driving due to an incorrect air-fuel mixture
• Rough Idle: A faulty MAP sensor may cause the engine to idle roughly or inconsistently, often leading to stalling or difficulty starting the engine

About Genuine Volvo

The original parts used by Volvo to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine Volvo” brand. Manufactured under the direction of Volvo, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are exclusively available through the Volvo Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your Volvo are not necessarily manufactured by Volvo. No cause for concern, as Volvo designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for Volvo for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine Volvo parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a Volvo logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
