Subject: Barometric pressure (BARO) sensor test for sensors integral to the airflow meter
Symptom: Cold—rough idle, surge, can cause both high HC and CO
Warm—rough idle, hesitation or sag, poor acceleration, or surge
Source: Mitsubishi service manuals
The BARO sensor is an integral part of the Karman vortex sound-frequency airflow sensor. It is
used on all 1987 and later fuel-injected vehicles equipped with an air flow sensor, except Cordia
and Tredia turbo models. These models use a boost sensor and a pressure exchange solenoid.
The integral BARO sensor does not fail often. On TBI systems through 1986, a separate sensor is
used. The BARO sensor is in the ECM/PCM on the following models:
• 1985–86 Galant
• 2004–06 Endeavor, Galant, Outlander, and Lancer 2.4L
• 2006 Eclipse
