How to Clean the MAP Sensor of the Kia Picanto

Model: Kia Picanto 2A, MK 1 - Years 2004-2011
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this video, we see how to clean the MAP sensor of a Kia Picanto: first, identify the intake manifold, where you will need to remove the electrical connector, then using a 10 mm spanner, remove the two bolts that secure the sensor and take it off easily. You will see that it is indeed very dirty and has various residues: clean it with a can of compressed air to thoroughly remove all residues, without touching it with your hands, as this could damage it. Once cleaned, you can refit it in its place and tighten the two securing bolts again. Then reconnect the electrical connector and the job is done.
