P00B8 MAP - Mass or Volume Air Flow Correlation Bank 2

Check engine lightOn
EmissionsRelevant
Drive cycleRequired
Limp modeNo

On engines with two intake paths, the control module compares the manifold pressure of bank 2 with the measured or calculated air quantity of that bank. P00B8 is set when the two do not fit together; the code does not say which value is wrong. As with its bank 1 counterpart, typical causes are an air leak, an exhaust gas recirculation valve that does not close, or a dirty or drifting sensor. Each sensor can be electrically fine on its own. No manufacturer description naming this exact code was found; the explanation follows its documented counterpart.

Likely causes

Air leak in the intake of bank 2
EGR valve dirty or sticking open
Manifold pressure sensor or air flow meter dirty or drifting
Wiring or connector faulty

Symptoms

  • Check engine light on
  • Rough running
  • Mixture codes possible
