MAP AND BARO SENSOR USAGE (BENDIX & DELCO PART NUMBERS)

All 1980 DEFI and 1981 DFI or CCC vehicles originally equipped with Bendix MAP and BARO sensors can currently be serviced using either Bendix or Delco sensors. In the near future, Bendix sensors will not be available for service. When this occurs, Delco sensors must be used as service replacements for all sensors.

Whenever a Bendix sensor is replaced by a Delco sensor, both the MAP and BARO sensors must be replaced and a sensor mounting kit must be used to complete the installation. Refer to Serviceman Bulletin I-81-53 for illustrations of the sensors and bracket kits. Complete parts information is listed below.

General Motors bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, not a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, do not assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See a General Motors dealer servicing your brand of General Motors vehicle for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
