My wife and I got this truck ( 2014 Chevy LT 4x4 with the 5.3 ) about a week ago , check engine light came on. Took it to my dealer and they said the Barometric Pressure Sensor went bad and replaced it. Tonight we got the same check engine light and on-star said it was the same problem as before. Any ideas here ? Thanks for the help.

Sounds like the dealer didn't properly diagnose something. I'd be curious to the exact code but honestly I'd just bring it back and hope they do a better job this time around.

When I talked with the service manger he said he had to take this one off another truck, I hope they can get it fixed. Other then that it's a really nice truck and very comfy.

Generally not a big problem. Perhaps instead of the sensor itself it could be the electrical connector or the wiring harness itself. The engine ECU requires certain voltage feedback from the sensor and if it is outside of the established limits it will throw a code. So if there is high resistance in the wiring, this will result in voltage drop that can throw a code. Just another possibility I guess.

Thanks Andraya R I will message you. Dealer told us that it's some type of eletrical problem and will require re doing something to the motor , they have no idea on when the parts will be in. Truck has less then 500 miles on it. We have always had great dealer support.

Update on my issue. Dealer could not get the one part they needed to fix the issue so they had to order an entire harness for the front end motor. Should be done tomorrow. GM has made contact with me and I am pleased how they are taking care of this , I just hope this fixes the problem.

Just me, but I would make sure they just scab off the part they need off that new harness rather than them change out the whole harness. You run the risk of them inducing more problems if they decide to change out your whole harness rather than just swap out the sensor.

Was driving today and the same issue popped up, called my servicing dealer, naturally they close at noon and i called at 11:45. Soonest they can get me in is Wednesday. Went to the local O'reillys and had them pull the codes stated the Intake sensor and barometric pressure sensor were the cause. Engine seems to be running at almost high idle. Kinda annoyed that this is an issue on a newer truck, I got 30,000 on it but I cant imagine this should be a problem already. Hopefully this isn't how the foreseeable future is going to go as wel

Asmith721, wondering if you ever got the code fixed and what did you do,  been chasing this for 2 months now changing map/baro sensor, maf sensor, air filter and it still says the same thing.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes I agree, its what amounts to free advertising to let people know about his UOA testing company, and not that there is anything wrong with that but certainly that is a motivator for putting out videos about the science of oil as well as other topics such as oil and air filtration etc. The interesting part I found with his last video is not only the physics behind the reason for the varying wear due to a diesels working torque range causing more bearing load and that higher viscosity oil is of benefit, it was also that the chemistry behind the GM Dexos 0W-20 and the Mobil Dexos licensed 0W-20 are far enough apart that its showing up with a difference in wear even though the two oils are matched in viscosity and in that comparison viscosity was not having the finger pointed at it.    Thankfully youtube is free ( yet anyway ) for viewers to sift through information and of course comes with the good and the bad ( truth and lies ) and we can choose to turn off/not watch what a person finds is bs or just not interested in the topic.

      No doubt... But, as someone who doesn't pay for his services, but who has provided a few views/clicks on his Youtube platform, the data around the Mobil oil testing I think does have some value including to "freeloaders" like me.   A lot of what he's doing is likely showing the OE's work in their oil selection, something that many of us had kind of assumed was true all along, a good balance of both excellent protection and efficiency.

      Lake Speed is drumming up business for his company just by being in the spot-light so he has a vested interest in stoking the 0W-20 fire.  IMO

      I knew when I bought my truck that it had off road hill decent or craw control or whatever they call it and rolled my eyes at that but it gets throw on with other options my truck has, I just never had a heads up if the highway speed regular cruise setting had anything to do with the brakes and that took me by surprise. If you've ever been to the top of Pikes Peak and watched those ahead of you on the way down with their brake lights on constantly, one can guess they are probably not gearing down or not enough anyway if their vehicle will allow and a good reason their is a brake check spot part way down where they use an infra red heat gun to check how hot ones brakes are front and rear.    Your right that once one gets out of the front range by Denver and I've not been on that stretch of 285 between Denver and Fairplay myself but I know its high and Fairplay at 10000 feet, Buena Vista at 8000, it drops a bit from there but then your going back up and over the 11000 pass and Durango is at 6500 . So yes your definitely right that 6500 and a lot higher is the theme of going anywhere out in that direction from Denver but hey, the down hill sections give fantastic fuel mileage !.    I don't even look at the fuel pumps for what premium costs here, since I live on a farm and up to this point get fuel delivered I am rarely in front of a fuel pump and when I am, I am often using card lock bulk fuel stations so it tells me what the price is AFTER I buy the fuel. Looking up on gas buddy and converting to US gallons but in Canadian dollars, regular on average of the prices listed was around 5.95 and premium is around 7.00 . That was one reason I did not go for the 6.2 half ton aside from its lack of carrying/towing if one was going by the rule of using premium fuel and until recently one could only buy regular farm gas if playing the few cents off game for farm dyed fuel for a "farm licensed pickup". But yes I hear you on the fuel price difference and like the diesel theme with it often being more expensive then gas it doesn't have quite the charm to it either as it once did although right now here for some reason the price of diesel has come down more so its now inline with the price of regular gas.

      I agree with this assessment. As you know I’m testing longevity with vehicles for the first time. I have a few vehicles I passed to kids and grandkids. We’re all past 100K miles some approaching 170K. I’m the only one doing 5k oil changes. The rest whatever the minder says. I’m the only one doing frequent transmission service. My odyssey the trip vehicle at 200K will be finished as a trip vehicle. I recently changed to high mileage oil, Valvoline. I can’t get past the fact that all manufacturers want to claim long service life. I just don’t make sense that they would go with low weight oil for mileage. While sacrificing longevity.
