Barometric Pressure Circuit High

The barometric pressure sensor reports a voltage above the upper limit. The signal cannot represent any realistic atmospheric pressure, indicating an open circuit or short to supply voltage.

Affected components

  • Barometric pressure sensor
  • Bps wiring

Common causes

  • High likelihood: Signal shorted to supply voltage
  • Medium likelihood: Open in signal or ground wire
  • Low likelihood: Connector pins corroded - high contact resistance

Diagnostic notes

  • The malfunction indicator lamp may illuminate
  • This code can affect emissions
  • A drive cycle may be required after repair
