2000 Honda Accord EX 6 cyl 170k While driving check engine light came on
stopped at Autozone and it put the code P1106 I just changed the valve cover gaskets
a couple of days ago didnt see anything that I left off, car runs fine
Any idea what it could be Thanks for the help

Get somebody else to check that the BARO sensor is connected; a "second set of eyes"

 

[mahplane]

Thanks for the help do u know where it is located

It seems like it is inside the PCM. Do you have access o live-data? Live-data can help you avoid a lot of time and parts-swapping; and doesn't have to be expensive. Search for info on "ELM327" devices.

 

[mahplane]

If it is part of the pcm is the only way to fix it is to replace the pcm? Or could something else be throwing the code

 

[billr]

I think it is "something else", but that is just a guess. There may not even be a physical BARO sensor, the PCM may simply be reading MAP at key-on, before the engine cranks. "Inside the PCM" may mean the PCM software program.

Again, live-data is going to be a valuable tool here.

They hardly go bad. If you are having a problem and you say you are not. Let it go.

Ordered a ELM327 Code reader other than any codes what am I looking for?

 

[grcauto]

With the one you bought you may only read codes. Does it do live data? All readers/scanners are ELM chips.

 

[billr]

Check MAP and BARO at key-on, before starting engine. They should be the same value (hence no critical need for a separate BARO sensor), and they should both read correctly for the altitude of your location. Once the engine is started the MAP should change, but the BARO should not change.

Yes it does do live data I will check it out tomorrow
