What does P1106 mean?

P1106 is a diagnostic trouble code indicating "Dual Alternator Lower Fault/ Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor Circuit Intermittent High Voltage". The ECU is detecting a voltage reading that is below the expected range in the air flow sensors circuit. This typically points to a wiring short, a faulty sensor, or a grounding issue.

Symptoms you may notice

  • Check engine light (MIL) illuminated on dashboard
  • ABS warning light on
  • Brake pedal feels different
  • Unusual braking behaviour
  • Intermittent warning lights

Common causes

  • Damaged or corroded wiring harness
  • Loose or disconnected electrical connector
  • Failed air flow sensors sensor or actuator
  • Blown fuse in the related circuit
  • Poor ground connection

What should you do?

Schedule a diagnostic appointment at your earliest convenience. The vehicle is generally safe to drive short distances, but the underlying issue should be addressed to prevent it from worsening.
