2000 Dodge Dakota V6 with engine code P1297

Question

I have a 2000 Dodge Dakota V6. The P1297 was the code that showed up, and they said it was the MAP sensor. I replaced it, but there is no change in the vehicle. So, what else could the code mean?

Answer 1

Hi there

There could be an issue with the ecm, the wiring from the map sensor to the ecm or a problem with the vacuum line being clogged to the map sensor. These all will cause the code to appear.

Answer 2

The P1297 indicates a problem with the MAP Sensor. Replacing the MAP Sensor is necessary to repair the issue. Here is a link to the code page with more information:
