Barometric pressure problem?


Recommended Posts

My wife and I got this truck ( 2014 Chevy LT 4x4 with the 5.3 ) about a week ago , check engine light came on. Took it to my dealer and they said the Barometric Pressure Sensor went bad and replaced it. Tonight we got the same check engine light and on-star said it was the same problem as before. Any ideas here ? Thanks for the help.

When I talked with the service manger he said he had to take this one off another truck, I hope they can get it fixed. Other then that it's a really nice truck and very comfy.

Generally not a big problem. Perhaps instead of the sensor itself it could be the electrical connector or the wiring harness itself. The engine ECU requires certain voltage feedback from the sensor and if it is outside of the established limits it will throw a code. So if there is high resistance in the wiring, this will result in voltage drop that can throw a code. Just another possibility I guess.

Thanks Andraya R I will message you. Dealer told us that it's some type of eletrical problem and will require re doing something to the motor , they have no idea on when the parts will be in. Truck has less then 500 miles on it. We have always had great dealer support.

Update on my issue. Dealer could not get the one part they needed to fix the issue so they had to order an entire harness for the front end motor. Should be done tomorrow. GM has made contact with me and I am pleased how they are taking care of this , I just hope this fixes the problem.

Just me, but I would make sure they just scab off the part they need off that new harness rather than them change out the whole harness. You run the risk of them inducing more problems if they decide to change out your whole harness rather than just swap out the sensor.

Was driving today and the same issue popped up, called my servicing dealer, naturally they close at noon and i called at 11:45. Soonest they can get me in is Wednesday. Went to the local O'reillys and had them pull the codes stated the Intake sensor and barometric pressure sensor were the cause. Engine seems to be running at almost high idle. Kinda annoyed that this is an issue on a newer truck, I got 30,000 on it but I cant imagine this should be a problem already. Hopefully this isn't how the foreseeable future is going to go as wel
