P0106 - BAROMETRIC (BARO) PRESSURE SENSOR CIRCUIT PERFORMANCE

Description:	BARO sensor input to the PCM is monitored and is not within the calibrated value.
Possible Causes:	Slow responding BARO sensor. Electrical circuit failure. Damaged BARO sensor. Damaged PCM.
Diagnostic Aids:	VREF voltage should be between 4.0 and 6.0 volts. The PID reading is in frequency.
Application	Key On Engine Off	Key On Engine Running	Continuous Memory
