I have a 2017 EL XLT. I had some type of rodent chew through the wires going to my MAP sensor and the vapor purge valve. I was able to order both connectors to repair the damage. I have been an avionics tech for almost 40 years and I will be using environmental splices. Does anyone have a wiring diagram of the engine? Just want to be 100% sure of the wiring when I splice them. I will be grateful for any help.
Thanks in advance!

Sorry to hear that. Little bastids cost me a $1k zero turn mower engine last year. I had it in a temp garage shelter outback during the winter when they got to it.
Your MAP sensor wiring at least is very straight forward. I had to solder on a new plug at one point. It had been in an accident when I bought it. I have all the schematics, but if I were you I'd just trace the wiring back. I'd post the schematics for you, but they aren't in my electronic version of the service manual. Only the wiring manual that I have in the garage and I don't have a way to scan it for you right now. I've attached a pic of the MAP sensor for you at least. It shows where the wires were cut off on mine and their color. They go straight into the harness underneath it. You should be able to see it in the pic. Good luck.

Thanks for the help! My sensor is the one on top of the manifold. You are right, however, I am just going to trace the wires back and match them up. Sure made my truck run like crap! Had to tow a boat 350 miles in manual using 3 and 4 gears. Automatic would only get me 50 mph and I was on I95 the whole way. As a bonus, I had no cruise control either! I am going to replace the sensor as well. Hopefully have all the pieces tomorrow. Will post some pics and the results.

Thanks for the information. I spliced all the wires with new connectors, replaced the sensor ( it was in pretty bad shape) and it started up and ran perfectly. I had to go back in and clear the codes, but mission accomplished! Big shout out to Carid for the parts and fast delivery. Cost was around 170.00! Thanks rodents!!
