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.

      Can ask that about a lot of places.   Holiday sells 91 for $1 over 87 octane. BP 93 is 80 cents. Amoco 93 is 80 cents Kwik Trips is $1.20 for 92 or whatever they have and $1 for the 91.   I know that this is not exactly same as what you are saying with the premium to premium debate of those two stations but why is there such a difference. Top Tier this and that, it's all BS. All the fuel comes from the same damn refinery, so give me a break.

      Why does Mobil Premium cost 90 cents a gallon more than Shell Premium when their regular offerings are but pennies apart?

      Was all the way down to $3.69 a gallon but then jumped back to $3.99 just because for some reason.   Diesel floats between $4.80's to $5.10ish a gallon. I even saw Diesel #1 for $6.09 today but nobody in there right mind even buys that in the summer.

      OTA updates and radio still cuts out

      Mine just keeps lagging or getting stuck on the reverse camera. When I turn off the truck, get out, and close the door it will still stay on. It’s very intermittent and I would not be able to duplicate the issue.

      I was checking out fuel prices at my farm fuel retailer at their pumps and yes the farm price is a bit lower than the non dyed fuel and was glad to see that the regular farm gas price has dropped a lot from what it had been but what blew me away was the price of diesel as the spread now compared to before the prices went up earlier in the year, diesel was actually slightly lower than gas which was a switch from the theme the last number of years. However that sure isn't the theme lately and definitely not right now. The prices I will post are not from that retailer but just looking at gasbuddy for the main city in this area and instead of posting the lowest price someone found I will list the higher price ( and that may not be the highest price, just whatever someone posted on gasbuddy ).   So regular gas and there are a lot of stations listing the same price for regular is 1.68 a liter, premium 2.00 a liter. Diesel 2.03 a liter for a top price I saw on diesel.   Figures out to 6.36 a us gallon Canadian funds for regular and 7.68 for diesel. With the US exchange rate it would be 4.58 us for regular and 5.53 for diesel.    Thought I would figure that out to get a picture of what it settles out like compared to various US prices and its about the same as the current price in Fairbanks AK as Anchorage tends to be lower. So yes, these would be the prices and higher along the way on the Alaska highway where they know they have a captured market !, for fuel prices for those beginning the long drive back to the lower 48   The problem is our Canadian dollar and going to the states that have the high prices, boy do we pay then !
