Code 32 - BARO Sensor

NOTE: The BARO sensor reacts like a MAP sensor in that it measures highest voltage when barometric pressure is highest.

Code 32 says that the ECM has seen a BARO pressure (measured in volts) too low at terminal "1" of the ECM.

NOTE: The following step numbers refer to the numbers in the accompanying flow chart(s).
  1. This test checks voltage output from sensor at the ECM. Voltage normally falls within the middle range on table.
  2. Installing a jumper lead between Baro sensor harness terminals "B" and "C" should cause a voltage reading of more than 2.5 volts at the ECM. This indicates circuits 416 and 432 are okay.
  3. Possible causes of low voltage in step 2) are checked by measuring voltage between Baro harness terminal "A" and "C". A voltage reading of 4-6 volts limit possible causes to be an open circuit 433, a poor connection at ECM terminal "1" or a faulty ECM.
  4. This test verifies the presence of reference voltage at Baro harness terminal "C".
