Bad BARO sensor?

I was just checking something for someone with AE. My BARO sensor is reading (according to AE) about 28 PSI. PSI at sea level should be about 14.7. I'm at 4300 feet so I should be down around 13 something.

Is my BARO sensor bad? Can someone else with AE check their BARO reading to see if maybe AE is reporting it wrong? And does anyone know the part number for the BARO sensor?

Your Baro is either off or it is set to read in inches of Hg

28 inch of mercury [0 °C] = 13.752 316 262 pound/square inch

Interesting. My Evolution says 13 kiloPascals. Now, 13 PSI would be just about right.

I think that the various software is just applying the wrong units of measure to the readings. The truck is running fine. I did 1700 miles last week, from 10,000+ feet to -63 below sea level and it did it all fine.

I don't think I'm going to worry about it.
