I wonder if Forscan did an update recently and there is something wrong in the code, value or parameter when taking a BARO reading.
When I was troubleshooting my bad EBPS years ago I used TP and haven't been back to the BARO reading since then with Forscan or TP. I don't have an answer for you, but if you are seeing similar results on both vehicles there is only one commonality between them... Forscan...
Just for curiosity sake, are you able to create a log of the readings and input them into a chart or something like the PID Charting Tool?
PID Charting Tool
Perhaps the display is not reading correctly, but a readout in a chart will. I am grasping at straws here and am in no way an expert with Forscan, but it seems like there is something within the program that is not right. I don't know if this is a user changeable feature (change value or decimal point) or if the program itself is incorrect.
