OPERATION
  • A power voltage of 5 V is applied to the barometric pressure sensor power terminal (terminal No. 1) of the air flow sensor connector from the engine-A/T-ECU (terminal No. 46) and earthed to the engine-A/T-ECU (terminal No. 16) from the air flow sensor (terminal No. 5).
  • The sensor signal is inputted to the engine-A/T-ECU (terminal No. 55) from the barometric pressure sensor output terminal (terminal No. 2) of the air flow sensor connector.
function
  • The barometric pressure sensor converts the barometric pressure into a voltage signal and inputs the signal to the engine-A/T-ECU.
  • In response to the signal, the engine-A/T-ECU corrects the fuel injection amount, etc.
TROUBLE JUDGMENT
Check Condition
  • 2 seconds after the ignition switch has been placed in the "ON" position or the engine has started up.
Judgment Criterion
  • A sensor output voltage of 4.5 V or more (atmospheric pressure above 114 kPa or eqiovalent) for 4 seconds.
Or
  • A sensor output voltage 0.2 V or less (atmospheric pressure below 5 kPa or eqiovalent).
PROBABLE CAUSE
  • Failed barometric pressure sensor
  • Open or short circuit in barometric pressure sensor circuit or loose connector contact
  • Failed engine-A/T-ECU
