Help with EBPS

Evening
I got an OBD2LINKMX+ and FORScan Lite om my phone.
My EBPS is reading 6.2 always, no matter at idle or underlaod.
Setting is EBP_V psi and EBP volts. Volts is around .07-.09 small fluctuations there.
Sensor?

Provided you have tested property, it's a 'yes'. OEM on the sensor only and beware of counterfeits on amazoo and fleabay. RiffRaff is a good source, if they carry that piece.

The reading are from my OBD and FROScan, I would guess that's properly, or am I missing sowmthing

I would make sure the ebps tube isn't stopped up or rusted in 2 giving a false reading first.

tube is clean, connecting point in exh manifold is clear and sensor is not pluagged

EBP changed a bit as monitored by FORScan over time, so you might have to do some testing and trial and error.

Try changing the unit of measure for EBP_V to PSI. Try EBP_A, again with PSI.

In order to verify the EBPS is functioning properly, you need to monitor MAP, BARO and EBP on a cold engine. With the key on, engine off, they should be within .5 PSI of each other. Whichever is out of whack, needs service or replacement. BARO is internal to the PCM in all trucks except E99 if I am not mistaken.

will play around with EBP_V and EBP_A and the PSI.
MAP sensor is new and amtches with boost reading plus atmospheric pressure.
BARO, I have no idea about that. If it is in the PCM umm yeah nah yeah nah, that scares me a bit,

BARO is nothing more than another PID you select on FORScan, it is your benchmark when checking MAP and EBPS for proper function.

BARO reads 0 PSI while in operation

Double check your PID's and unit of measurement before proceeding. Try BAROV with the unit of measurement PSI.

I think the baro is internal to the PCM.. depneding on the year. @cleatus12r can clear that up.

Sir, that is correct as I explained a bit in post #6 and then a bit more in post #8 while attempting to help Don with his PID observations. I didn't want to get too far into that detail because this is likely not his issue. If BARO were in fact reading 0 or was inoperative, I believe there would be other indicators of this failure. In my opinion, Don is either monitoring the wrong PID, has the wrong unit of measurement selected or is doing something inadvertently that we are unable to identify thus far.

All of these PID's work and display the relevant information when configured properly, but the correct PID and unit of measurement must be selected otherwise the data will be erroneous.

BAROV indicates same as MAP, 14.6, thank you for pointing out to switch the PID to that.
EBP_A and EBPV read 6psi on either one when selected and does not change no mater the load, with EBPV on the VT setting it reads .05 to .07 no matter the load.
indication. Bad sensor?

Most likely a bad sensor, as your intuition seems to be telling you. Only purchase from a reputable seller like Bob at Diesel O Rings or Clay at Riffraff diesel. You mentioned the tube was clean earlier in the thread, so as long as you are sure it is clean and not clogged all the way though, the sensor, connector or wire are suspected inoperative.

99% of the time it is the EBP sensor.
