Test Procedure

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2006 Ford RV Cutaway, 2006 Ford Pickup, 2006 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2006 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2006 Ford Econoline. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. AU1 PRELIMINARY DIAGNOSIS FOR DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) P0069 
    • Retrieve and record all DTCs.
    • Record the freeze frame data.
    • Clear the DTCs.
    • Carry out the self-test.

    Is DTC P0069 present along with other DTCs? 

    Yes No
    REFER to DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) DESCRIPTIONS to continue diagnosis.
    For DTC P0069 only, GO to  AU2.    		 UNABLE to duplicate the condition. CHECK for a loose connection, and damaged or corroded terminals. WIGGLE the harness attempting to recreate the concern. REPAIR as necessary. REFER to SYMPTOM CHARTS , if a driveability concern exists.
  2. AU2 DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) P0069 
    NOTE: Most weather reports include a local barometric pressure that has been corrected to factor in sea level. However, the BARO PID reports the barometric pressure for the vehicle's actual altitude. Local weather conditions (high or low pressure) change the local barometric pressure by several inches of mercury.
    • Possible causes:
      • BARO sensor
      • MAP sensor
      • PCM
    • Key ON, engine OFF.
    • Access the PCM and monitor the BARO and MAP PIDs.
    • Record the BARO and MAP values.
    • Verify that the BARO PID reading is approximately the same as the barometric pressure reading for the location, day, and altitude where the vehicle is being repaired.

    Does the BARO PID reading compare with the daily barometric report for the local area? 

    Yes No
    GO to  AU3. INSTALL a new BARO. CLEAR the DTCs.
    REPEAT the self-test.
  3. AU3 COMPARE THE BARO KOER AND KOEO READINGS 
    • Key ON, engine running.
    • Access the PCM and monitor the BARO PID.
    • Compare the BARO and MAP value with the KOEO value.

    Is the BARO PID value equal to the recorded value? 

    Yes No
    GO to  AU4. INSTALL a new BARO. CLEAR the DTCs.
    REPEAT the self-test.
  4. AU4 COMPARE THE KOER BARO AND MAP PID VALUES 
    • Key ON, engine running.
    • Access the PCM and monitor the BARO and MAP PIDs.
    • Compare the BARO and MAP value with the KOEO value.

    Is the MAP sensor reading within 30 kPa (4.3 psi) of the BARO reading? 

    Yes No
    GO to  AU5. CHECK the MAP sensor hose for damage. INSTALL a new hose if a concern is found. If no hose concern is detected, INSTALL a new MAP sensor.
    CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
  5. AU5 CHECK FOR CORRECT PCM OPERATION 
    • Disconnect all the PCM connectors.
    • Visually inspect for:
      • pushed out pins
      • corrosion
    • Connect all the PCM connectors and make sure they seat correctly.
    • Carry out the PCM self-test and verify the concern is still present.

    Is the concern still present? 

    Yes No
    INSTALL a new PCM. REFER to FLASH ELECTRICALLY ERASABLE PROGRAMMABLE READ ONLY MEMORY (EEPROM) . The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector.
