What does this fault code mean?
The engine control module has registered a signal that is too low from the integrated atmospheric pressure sensor. The fault can lie in the signal wire, for example if it is broken or shorted to ground, or in the sensor. If the fault remains, it may also be an internal fault in the engine control module.
Possible causes
- Open circuit in the signal cable
- Signal cable short-circuited to ground
- Damaged atmospheric pressure sensor
What you can do
- 1Have a diagnostic tool? Read the code with the ignition on, then clear it and see whether it returns
- 2Check the connectors to the engine control module for oxidation and play
- 3Use a multimeter to check that the signal cable is not broken or shorted to ground
- 4Have a workshop check that the engine control module software is the latest version, since new software can fix the fault
- 5If the fault remains, have a workshop replace the engine control module
Symptoms you may notice1
- No noticeable symptoms for the driver
