Manifold Absolute Pressure/Barometric Pressure Correlation
Table of contents
P0069 SATURN Possible Causes
- Faulty Barometric Pressure (BARO) sensor
- Faulty Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor
- Manifold Absolute Pressure sensor harness open or shorted to ground
- Manifold Absolute Pressure sensor circuit poor electrical connection
- Engine mechanical problems
How do I fix code P0069 SATURN?
Check the “Possible Causes” listed above. Visually inspect the related wiring harness and connectors. Check for damaged components and look for broken, bent, pushed out, or corroded connector’s pins.
Cost of diagnosing the P0069 SATURN code
The cost of diagnosing the P0069 SATURN code is 1.0 hour of labor. The auto repair labor rates vary by location, your vehicle’s make and model, and even your engine type. Most auto repairs shops charge between $75 and $150 per hour.
When is the code detected
The Engine Control Module (ECM) has detected a correlation error between the Barometric Pressure (BARO) sensor and Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor
Possible Symptoms
- Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)
P0069 SATURN Description
The barometric pressure (BARO) sensor measures the pressure of the atmosphere. This pressure is affected by altitude and weather conditions. A diaphragm within the BARO sensor is displaced by the pressure changes that occur from varying altitudes and weather conditions. The sensor translates this diaphragm action into the voltage signal input that is used by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) for diagnostics and emissions control.
