Yes, the pressure sensor is nothing more than a variable resistor that changes

under pressure.

The rotax pressure sensor is more or less linear with the resistance being 15 
ohms (approx) at zero pressure rising to 205 ohms at 10 bar. The unit is 
tested at 20 celcius and has a tolerance of +-5%.
