I hit a deer a while back and smashed the hood on my Max along with the V Boost sensor. When I went to the Nissan dealer to get a replacement, I asked what it did. No one at the dealership including the Service Manager and the mechanics new what it did. They just said that when they go bad they cause drivability problems.....(especially if the go bad because they were smashed by a deer) . Does anyone know what this thing actually does?

jjam

 

ditto, i would like to know too.

 

have always wondered about that thing, yet it never occured to me to ask...

hope someone can shed some light

 

Absolute Pressure Sensor
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
The absolute pressure sensor is connected to the MAP/BARO
switch solenoid valve by a hose. The sensor detects ambient barometric
pressure and intake manifold pressure respectively, and
modifies the voltage signal received from the ECM. The modified
signal will then be returned to the ECM. As the pressure increases,
the voltage rises.


thats the real name for the Boost Sensor in the front...thats take from the FSM

 

cool *** f-ing looking thing isnt it though ? looks high tech. I wish i could make that part of the ram air intake pop out of the hood right thurr !!

 

i have a 96 SE so I know what the thing looks like and my 95 GXE parts car doesn't have one? is this cause it's OBD I not II?

 

i am completely lost..lol does any of yall have a pic?

 

i belive someone took a picture some time ago (a few months ago) wondering how to hook his back up. i remember now, he posted a pic. do a search for boost sensor mabe?

 

cool, i'll try that when i get home later..thanks

 

ur 96 is OBD II...even is u missed spelled and its a 95 ita still OBDII and its attached to the ram air part of the intake snorkel part
