Mounted on engine compartment side of firewall, this unit senses barometric (atmospheric) pressure. See Figure. The ECA applies a 9-volt reference voltage to sensor and monitors resultant output voltage. The output voltage produced is proportional to the atmospheric pressure detected by sensor. The ECA adjusts EGR flow requirements according to vehicle altitude.
