Signal Too High. Permanent Fault






Signal too high. Permanent fault

Checking the terminal








- Ignition off
- Disconnect the connector for the atmospheric pressure sensor.
Check the atmospheric pressure sensor connector for contact resistance and oxidation according to Checking wiring and terminals. Permanent fault Checking Wiring And Terminals. Permanent Fault.
Remedy as necessary.





Was a fault detected?

Yes - Verification

No - Checking the signal cable

-------------------------------------------------

Checking the signal cable








- Ignition off
- Disconnect the connector for the atmospheric pressure sensor
- Ignition on.
Connect a voltmeter between the atmospheric pressure sensor connector terminal 3 (control module side) and ground.









The voltmeter should read 0 V.

OK - Checking the ground lead

Not OK - Checking the signal cable

-------------------------------------------------

Checking the ground lead
Connect an ohmmeter between atmospheric pressure sensor connector terminal 2 and ground.









The ohmmeter should read approximately 0ohms.

OK - Defective atmospheric pressure sensor

Not OK - Checking the ground lead

-------------------------------------------------

Defective atmospheric pressure sensor
Try a new atmospheric pressure sensor according to Replacing the atmospheric pressure sensor Replacing Atmospheric Pressure Sensor.

Fault-tracing information
The fault should have been detected and remedied. As this is not the case fault-tracing has failed.
Exit fault-tracing for this diagnostic trouble code (DTC) or make another attempt.

Do you want to exit fault-tracing?

Yes - FAULT-TRACING FAILED

No - Attempt New Test
