Barometric Pressure (BARO) Sensor
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 32 other vehicles, including the 2010 Mercury Milan, 2010 Mercury Mariner, 2010 Mercury Grand Marquis, 2010 Lincoln Town Car, and 2010 Lincoln Navigator L. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The BARO sensor directly measures barometric pressure to estimate the exhaust back pressure. Exhaust back pressure influences speed density based air charge computation. The BARO sensor is mounted directly to the PCM circuit board.
