Bryan;

The MAP sensors that I've seen are 3- wire potentiometer types;
depending on which end of the pot is connected to ground and which is
+5V, the output (pot wiper arm) voltage will increase with pressure or
it will decrease with pressure-- your choice.

mayf,

The output is 0-5 VDC, 0 v = 0 bar and 5 v = 3 bar.

Dave,  is this correct?
