OBD-II Trouble Code Description for P0109 Dodge

Manifold Absolute Pressure/Barometric Pressure Circuit Intermittent

What does this mean?

OBD2 Code P0109 Dodge definition:
The Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor provides instantaneous manifold pressure information to the engine’s Engine Control Module (ECM). The data is used to calculate air density and determine the engine’s air mass flow rate, which in turn determines the required fuel metering for optimum combustion. A fuel-injected engine may alternately use a Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor to detect the intake airflow. A typical configuration employs one or the other, but seldom both.
