DTC P0069: Abnormal Correlation Between Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor And Barometric Pressure Sensor

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION


The ECM detects abnormality in the sensor by comparing the manifold absolute pressure sensor output with the barometric pressure sensor output.
DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS
The ECM compares the manifold absolute pressure sensor output with the barometric pressure sensor output while the engine control relay is in "ON" position after the ignition switch is in "LOCK" (OFF) position. When the difference exceeds the specified value between them, the ECM determines whether the manifold absolute pressure sensor / the barometric pressure sensor has malfunction or not.


Check Conditions


Ignition switch is in "LOCK" (OFF) position.
After 2 seconds pass from the time when the engine is stopped.
Engine coolant temperature is higher than 0 °C (32 °F) .
Judgement Criterion


Difference between manifold absolute pressure sensor output and barometric pressure sensor output is more than 9 kPa (2.7 in.Hg) for 2 seconds .
OBD-II DRIVE CYCLE PATTERN
None.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (The most likely causes for this code to be set are:)


Manifold absolute pressure sensor failed.
Barometric pressure sensor failed.
ECM failed.
