DTC P0106 - Barometric Pressure Circuit Range/Performance Problem


um yeah no clue what thats for.

 

The digram in the manual puts it inside the intake box, it seems as if its incorporated into the MAF harness. The pic is vague at best.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
The barometric pressure sensor outputs a voltage which corresponds to the barometric pressure.
The ECM checks whether this voltage is within a specified range.

here are the troubleshooting hints in the manual
1)sensor failed
2)open or shorted circuit, harness damage, connector damage
3)ecu failure

I would say its a safe bet the sensor failed unless you have been messing in the area of the harness

 

well i had to wire in a new maf sensor plug because the one on this harness was destroyed, and they are color coded right and all soldered on. but the other day i did forget to plug the maf in ":P" but i cleared the code and it came back about a day later , i drove it around and it didnt pop right back up so no idea.

 

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) 13A-53
DTC P0106: BAROMETRIC PRESSURE CIRCUIT RANGE/PERFORMANCE PROBLEM
.
CIRCUIT OPERATION
A 5-volt voltage is supplied to the barometric
pressure sensor power terminal (terminal No. 1)
from the ECM (terminal No. 81). The ground ter-
minal (terminal No. 5) is grounded with ECM (ter-
minal No. 40).
A voltage that is proportional to the atmospheric
pressure is sent to the ECM (terminal No. 85)
from the barometric pressure sensor output ter-
minal (terminal No. 2).
.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
The barometric pressure sensor outputs a volt-
age which corresponds to the barometric pres-
sure.
The ECM checks whether this voltage is within a
specified range.


TSB Revision
13A-54 MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI)
DTC SET CONDITIONS
Check Conditions
Barometric pressure is lower than 76 kPa (11
psi).
Judgement Criteria
During 15 times of driving, the changes in the
sensor output voltage should measure 0.015 volt
[equivalent to 0.4 kPa (0.06 psi)] or less.
Make sure that the engine coolant temperature is
72C (160F) or higher during each of the 15
times of driving. Also, during each of the 15 times
of driving, make sure that after the engine has
been started, the engine coolant temperature has
increased for 23C (40F) or higher.
.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (The most likely
causes for this code to be set are
Barometric pressure sensor failed.
Open or shorted barometric pressure sensor cir-
cuit, harness damage, or connector damage.
ECM failed.

 

It says it takes 15 cycles before the light will come on.

 

so what does that mean? lol im clueless

So basically when this error is being thrown what does it cause the car to do? limp mode?

 

If the problem is still present, after you turn the car off and on again 15 times (drive cycles) the light will reappear. I doubt it will go into a limp mode, it's not a huge issue. My front o2 sensor is out and does not affect drivability. I would recheck all the wiring you did and make sure your solder joints are good.

 

yeah i can re check it, i doubt i have turned the car on/ off 15 times since the other night. My main concern is that i do not want it effecting performance/ reliablility at all. its throwing a few more codes im about to go to the parts store so that they can scan it for me. and ill post the others.

 

If you have the tactrix cable you can get the code scanner program for your laptop free off of malibu jacks website. www.aktivematrix.com.
