Barometric Pressure Sensor: Description and Operation
BAROMETRIC PRESSURE (BARO) SENSOR
Barometric Pressure (BARO) Sensor
The BARO sensor is a variable capacitor sensor that processes a signal indicating atmospheric pressure. This allows the PCM to compensate for altitude.
The PCM uses this information to calculate injection timing and glow plug control. The BARO sensor is located behind the lower steering column
opening finish panel.
A BARO sensor fault results in an out-of-range signal to the PCM.
