Barometric Pressure (BARO) Sensor
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 25 other vehicles, including the 2013 Lincoln Navigator, 2013 Lincoln MKZ, 2013 Lincoln MKX, 2013 Lincoln MKT, and 2013 Lincoln MKS. 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 integral to the PCM.
