What it means (plain English)

The vehicle's computer has detected a problem with the eye pressure system meant to monitor driver fatigue and alertness.

What the computer is actually seeing

What a healthy reading looks like

Normal eye pressure values are typically between 10 to 21 mmHg; abnormal readings may exceed these limits.

Guided diagnostic — the DiagCoach way

Don't just throw parts at it. Walk through these in order — each step tells you whether to keep going or stop and fix what you found.

  1. 11. Check the wiring and connectors to the eye pressure sensor for any damage or corrosion. If damaged, repair or replace as needed. DECISION: If wiring is good, move to the next step.
  2. 22. Test the eye pressure sensor operation using a multimeter. Expected voltage should be around 0.5 to 3.5 volts depending on sensor state. DECISION: If reading is out of expected range, replace the sensor. If it is within range, proceed to the next step.
  3. 33. Check for any software updates or diagnostic trouble codes in the vehicle’s computer associated with the eye pressure system. Perform necessary software updates. DECISION: If a software issue is found and addressed, clear codes and retest. If the issue persists, continue diagnostics.
