I data loged tonight and it showed to be 3.17volts...the chart on page 51 of the 6.0 bible shows that being arround 6000 feet above sea level problem is Stephenville Tx is 1277 feet above sea level so the reading should be more like approximately 4.25....Does the SCT alter this reading? Were does this thing live?
Thanks
Jeff

The BARO sensor is a variable capacitor sensor that processes a signal indicating atmospheric pressure. This allows the PCM to compensate for altitude. The PCM uses this information to calculate injection timing and glow plug control. The BARO sensor is located behind the lower steering column opening finish panel.

AU1 PRELIMINARY DIAGNOSIS FOR DTC P0069
Retrieve and record all DTCs.
Record the freeze frame data.
Clear all DTCs.
Carry out the KOEO on-demand self-test.
Carry out the continuous on-demand self-test.Is DTC P0069 present along with other DTCs?

AU2 DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) P0069
Note: Most weather reports include a local barometric pressure that has been corrected to factor in sea level. However, the BARO PID reports the barometric pressure for the vehicle's actual altitude. Local weather conditions (high or low pressure) change the local barometric pressure by several inches of mercury.
Possible causes:
BARO sensor
MAP sensor
PCM
Key ON, engine OFF.
Access the BARO and MAP PIDs.
Record the BARO and MAP values.
Verify that the BARO PID reading is approximately the same as the barometric pressure reading for the location, day, and altitude where the vehicle is being repaired.Does the BARO PID reading compare with the daily barometric report for the local area?

Hey froggy last night the barrometric pressue was 29.82 in/hg....can you find out what voltage that corisponds too...please...
