table. The BARO parameter should be within the specified range indicated in the table.
- Use the scan tool and compare the MAP parameter to a known good vehicle, under various operating conditions. The readings should be within 3 kPa of the known good vehicle.
- Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.
