Diag. Code 35
High Altitude Compensator Sensor
(HAC Sensor) Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The HAC sensor is built into the ECU. This is a semiconductor pressure sens\
or with properties which
cause its electrical resistance to change when stress is applied to the senso\
r's crystal (silicon) (piezo-
electric effect). This sensor is used to detect the atmospheric (absolute) press\
ure and outputs corre-
sponding electrical signals. Fluctuations in the air pressure cause changes in t\
he intake air density,
which can cause deviations in the air±fuel ratio. The signals from HAC sen\
sor are used to make correc-
tions for these fluctuations. If the ECU records diagnostic code º35º\
, the fail safe function operates and
the atmospheric pressure is set at a constant 101.3 kPa (760 mmHg, 29.92 i\
n.Hg).
Code No.Diagnostic Code Detecting ConditionTrouble Area
35Open or short in HAC sensor circuit for
0.5 sec. or more. ECU
DIAGNOSTIC CHART
Are there any other codes (besides Code 16)
being output?
Replace engine (& ECT) ECU.
