Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.

In this video, we're going to show you how to replace the MAP sensor on this 2005 GMC Savana 2500 with the 6 liter V8 engine. The only tools that you'll need are a 10mm socket and ratchet.

To start it off, go to the driver side of the vehicle, and you'll see there is a panel right here and you're going to want to remove these two 10mm bolts that secure that panel, and also you'll see that there is a latch back here. Pull that back towards you, and it should unhook that clip there and then you just want to remove those bolts. We'll just fast forward as he does this. Now with the bolts removed, you can just pull on that panel. Just reach underneath it and pull it out. Be careful not to pull out the panels above it. Now, on the other side, again, there are two more 10mm bolts securing the panel. You want to just remove these two 10mm bolts and also, like on the other side, you want to pull back this clip and unlatch that. We'll fast forward as he removes these two 10mm bolts. Now, you just want to pry this panel off. It'll pry off pretty easily.

Now in the center of the center console underneath, there are two more of these latch clips, and what you want to do is you want to just push up on the clips and free them, and then once you have these unlatched, just lift up and pull forward. It'll pull right out. Now, to make more room for yourself, the engine is behind this panel, so what you can do is you can see you can't come out of this vehicle; the seats are in the way. The seats are only a few bolts if you want to remove them, but if you just want a little bit more room to save time, what you can do is you can just remove this. You see these four 10mm bolts inside this panel, you just want to remove those. With those bolts out, you can now pull that panel up and off, and remove that little top piece, and now with the overall access panel being shorter, you can push it under the dash.

We're just going to show you where the MAP sensor is. You can see it; it's right here at the top part on the back half of the engine. To remove this all you have to do is disconnect the connector and then there's tabs on either side that you just want to push those apart and pull the sensor up and out. You just want to move it back and forth. It will come out.

Now to reinstall, you just push it right back down in and reconnect your connector.

So, to put the panel back together, what you want to do is you put that top piece on and line up the access panel, and you just want to keep pushing it back into place, and what you'll see is you'll see those clips have to line up. There are hooks on the van, on the floor of the van that you need to line the latch hooks up with. Once you have it lined up, you just want to start connecting all those latches. So, just hook on to the hook. Pull the tab and lock it, and you want to do that with all four of them. Now, you can replace the cup holder panel, so put it into place and place those four 10mm bolts. It helps if you do it by hand. You can hold onto it, line up all the bolts. Just start it out by hand and then we'll fast forward as he uses the ratchet to tighten them the rest of the way. Now, you can put on that little panel right there. It just clips into place. Now, replace the panel underneath the driver side. Just push all the clips in. You should hear them snap, and then you just want to replace those two 10mm bolts, and we'll fast forward as he does this. Now, you just want to push that panel into place. On the passenger side, you just want to line up the clips, push it in, and then replace these two 10mm bolts, and then you're all set.
