DTC Descriptors
DTC P2227
- Barometric Pressure (BARO) Sensor Performance

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

DTC P2229
- Barometric Pressure (BARO) Sensor Circuit High Voltage

Circuit/System Description

The barometric pressure (BARO) sensor responds to changes in altitude and atmospheric conditions. This gives the engine control module (ECM) an indication of barometric pressure. The ECM uses this information to calculate fuel delivery. The BARO sensor is located within the controller and is not serviced as a separate unit. The BARO sensor provides a voltage signal to the ECM relative to the atmospheric pressure changes. The ECM monitors the BARO sensor signal for a voltage outside of the normal range.

Conditions for Running the DTC

P2227
* Before the ECM can report DTC P2227 failed, DTCs P0100, P0101, P0102, P0103, P0121, P0122, P0123, P0221, P0222, P0223, P2228, and P2229 must run and pass.
* The ignition is ON or the engine is operating.
* DTC P2227 runs continuously once the above conditions are met.

P2228 or P2229
* The ignition is ON or the engine is operating.
* The DTCs run continuously once the above conditions are met.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

P2227
* The ECM detects that the BARO pressure is not within a range of 50-115 kPa for greater than 2 seconds.
* The ECM detects that the BARO pressure changed greater than 10 kPa. The condition exists for greater than 2 seconds.
* The ECM detects that the BARO pressure changed greater than 2 kPa within 5 seconds of engine start.
* The ECM detects that the BARO pressure changed greater than 30 kPa since the last ignition cycle. The condition exists for greater than 200 mS at engine start.

P2228

The ECM detects that the BARO sensor voltage is less than 0.20 volt for 2 seconds.

P2229

The ECM detects that the BARO sensor voltage is greater than 4.87 volts for 2 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

DTCs P2227, P2228, and P2229 are Type B DTCs.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

DTCs P2227, P2228, and P2229 are Type B DTCs.

Circuit/System Verification

1. Start the engine. Observe the DTC information with a scan tool. DTCs P2227, P2228, or P2229 should not set.
2. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC to verify the DTC does not reset. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, open the hood to disable the Auto-Stop function.
2. Ignition ON, verify the scan tool hood position parameter displays Open.

• If the hood position does not display Open, refer to DTC P254F (P254F).

3. Inspect the atmospheric vent on the ECM case for one of the following conditions:

* Moisture in the vent inlet
* Debris in the vent inlet

• If a condition exists, attempt to clean or dry the atmospheric inlet.

4. Start the engine. Observe the DTC information with a scan tool. DTCs P2227, P2228, or P2229 should not set.

• If DTC P2227, P2228, or P2229 sets, replace the ECM.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification (Verification Tests) after completing the diagnostic procedure.
