BAROMETRIC PRESSURE (BARO) SENSOR INSPECTION

A6E394018211W02

Note

• Perform the following inspection only when directed.

• The following vacuum values are indicated by relative pressure from the barometric pressure sensor.

1. Connect the SSTs (WDS or equivalent) to the DLC-2.
2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
3. Select BARO on the SSTs (WDS or equivalent).
4. Verify that the BARO PID (pressure) and barometric pressure are practically equal.

• If not as verified, perform the “Circuit Open/Short Inspection”.

— If there is no open or short circuit, replace the barometric pressure sensor.

• If as verified, go to next step.

5. Apply vacuum of –25.0 kPa {–187 mmHg, –7.38 inHg} to the barometric pressure sensor, and verify that the 

BARO variation from that of Step 4 is approx. 25.0 kPa {187 mmHg, 7.38 inHg}.

• If not as verified, perform the “Circuit Open/Short inspection”.

— If there is no open or short circuit, replace the barometric pressure sensor.

FOREWORD

A6E397018881W01

• When the customer reports a vehicle malfunction, check the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) indication and 

diagnostic trouble code (DTC), then diagnose the malfunction according to following flowchart.
— If a DTC exists, diagnose the applicable DTC inspection. (See 

F–67 DTC TABLE

.)

— If no DTC exists and the MIL does not illuminate or flash, diagnose the applicable symptom 

troubleshooting. (See 

F–181 ENGINE SYMPTOM TROUBLESHOOTING

.)
