Ambient air pressure sensor circuit
short circuit to ground
View and note 'freeze-frame' data if
available.
View and note 'sensor' data.
Make sure sensor connector is secure.
Disconnect the engine ECM and
proceed to pinpoint test 1:
Ambient air pressure sensor circuit
open circuit or short circuit to 5 Volt
sensor supply
Check cable and terminal integrity:
- Engine ECM pin B23
- Engine ECM pin A5
- Engine ECM pin B18
- Sensor pin 1, 2, 3
Disconnect ambient
pressure sensor and
proceed to test 2
Rectify fault, proceed to
test 4
Check cable for short circuit:
- Engine ECM pin B18 to Engine ECM pin
B23
- Engine ECM pin B18 to Engine ECM pin
A5
- Engine ECM pin B23 to Engine ECM pin
A5
Locate and rectify wiring
fault, proceed to test 4
Check cable for continuity:
- Engine ECM pin B23 to sensor pin 1
- Engine ECM pin A5 to sensor pin 2
- Engine ECM pin B18 to sensor pin 3
Renew ambient pressure
sensor, proceed to test 4
Locate and rectify wiring
fault, proceed to test 4
Reconnect harness, clear fault code and
run engine.
