DTC P2227: BAROMETRIC PRESSURE SENSOR A CIRCUIT RANGE/PERFORMANCE

Description:  The powertrain control module (PCM) continuously monitors this sensor for concerns. The test fails when the barometric pressure (BARO) parameter identification (PID) does not correlate with the throttle intake pressure (TIP) or the manifold absolute pressure (MAP) PIDs at ignition on. This DTC sets when the PCM detects an out of range condition in the control circuit.
Possible Causes: 
  • Damaged BARO sensor
  • Damaged PCM
Diagnostic Aids:  This DTC is only operational between 1, 000 feet below sea level to 15, 000 feet above sea level, it should be disregarded if set out side the operational range.
