DTC P2228: Barometric Pressure (BARO) Sensor Circuit Low Voltage




General Description
The barometric pressure (BARO) sensor is built into the engine control module (ECM)/powertrain control module (PCM), and it monitors atmospheric pressure. The ECM/PCM estimates appropriate intake airflow from the manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor output voltage and BARO sensor output voltage. If the BARO sensor output voltage is a specified value or less, the ECM/PCM detects a malfunction and a DTC is stored.




Monitor Execution, Sequence, Duration, DTC Type, OBD Status




Enable Conditions

Malfunction Threshold
The BARO sensor output voltage is 1.58 V or less for at least 2 seconds.

Diagnosis Details

Conditions for illuminating the MIL
When a malfunction is detected, the MIL comes on and the DTC and the freeze frame data are stored in the ECM/PCM memory.

Conditions for clearing the MIL
The MIL will be cleared if the malfunction does not recur during three consecutive trips in which the diagnostic runs.

The MIL, the DTC, and the freeze frame data can be cleared by using the scan tool Clear command or by disconnecting the battery.
