Ebp reading

Just installed a new ebp sensor and harness from RR. At idle I see 0 ebp on my edge evolution driving it reads the same as boost. Is something wrong here no check engine lights seems to have more power but still garbage fuel mileage 10 at max I know my up pipes are leaking. Has ebpvv delete stock turbo 3 in downpipe

You won't have any drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) until you're driving the turbine wheel to make boost at the compressor. The operation you describe is normal. How do you think it should work?

I was kinda thinking that's how it worked, but also seen post where it's supposed to be reading atmosphere pressure the same as MAP and BARO. So I didn't know if mine was wrong or if it was reading percentage or psi above atmosphere pressure.

engine off key on
Baro, MAP, and EBP should be the same

Running, MAP and EBP should increase with load aka BOOST

If off by more than a few PSI, you have a possible restriction

The Edge has already factored-in the calculation of subtracting atmospheric pressure via the barometric pressure sensor data resulting in a "gauge pressure" display. Scan tools use raw data, which from the PCM is "absolute" pressure.

A question: If the EBPV is deleted, what does the EBP Sensor do?

it's tells the engine how much back pressure is in the manifolds so it can adjust fuel/air ratio and affects transmission shifting. Ebpv is just to warm up the truck faster.

What is the source of this information? Not necessarily questioning it but there are some differing opinions on this.

I have a pending uncertainty regarding this subject.

Does the ebp system affect gas mileage even though the valve has been deleted and the fact I have tuning? I have been told "no" and that this system no longer affect the motor.

What if my ebp sensor is faulty? I have been looking to hook up forscan on my truck to determine if this sensor is bad and may be causing my gas mileage issue. Only getting 10/13 city/hwy driving but my truck is a cclb 4x auto.

Attempted forscan on my laptop and couldn't get it to connect.

no, we use diesel fuel

I get 19 unloaded and 14 when hauling 10k


EBP affects Auto trans shifts and will defuel when too high from what i have read on here

What are you driving exactly? I'm sure it varies between trucks based on what their equiped with. Single cab, 4x, ECT.

I'm not convinced that it does anything more than control the exhaust backpressure valve, and I read that on here too . I am going to make some time to look for info on the EBPS in the Electrical and Vacuum Troubleshooting Manual.
