I think only the 90 or 91 are the same. Don't forget to DISCONNECT THE BATTERY when working with the INFL REST system. Take a OHM meter to it and see if it's within spec. before you try to replace it. Pipe

Suggest checking the slip together sensor wire connection @ the cockpit side of the firewall. The connection does not have lock tabs, on the 90 it worked its way apart & code 16 was displayed.

You will need to access that connection to check the sensor ohms.

Mine had the same leaking out. When I completed the sanding, cleaning, and regreasing process I reset the code. It took about an hour practicing to get it right. Once I got it the code went away. 3k miles later and it has not returned.
