The Volvo S80 MAP Sensor provides the engine computer with accurate pinpoint data on the manifold pressure, which allows the sedan to match the fuel and air with uncanny precision. The sensor prevents high throttle response and high mileage by reading actual absolute pressure rather than merely boost, which avoids a false understanding of a vacuum as positive pressure. In daily driving, the unit works in conjunction with the intake air temperature circuit so that the ECU is able to compute air density, schedule spark and even perform EGR self-tests, which the driver is unaware of beforehand. Its solid-state construction and closed connectors are praised by owners and have made the component have a reputation for being long-term reliable even in cold or salty weather in which many Volvo cars make their home. Regardless of whether your S80 was an early first-gen P2 with the original three-wire design or an EUCD update with the update digitally shaped into the harness, the mounting points and style of the plug will always give it away easily, and you will retain the same factory fit. Naturally aspirated trims also use only the MAP Sensor with turbo models being able to feed the same data to a mass airflow unit to provide the control unit with a panoramic view of the intake conditions to support both spirited acceleration and low-emission cruising. Since the MAP Sensor detects negative vacuum and positive boost on the same absolute scale, there is no need to move the numbers between dash gauges, a minor safety advantage since the ECU is at the same time aware of what the pistons are actually experiencing. Combine that kind of smarts with the standard Volvo SIPS, WHIPS and city safety electronics, and every driver of a Volvo S80 will have a car that is as responsive to abrupt traffic or slippery roads as possible, before a skid or stop. Altogether, this feature perfectly fits the broader Volvo sub-philosophy of intelligent hardware and considered safety in order to make the flagship both luxurious and unexpectedly cost-effective to own.
