DTC P2282: AIR LEAK BETWEEN THROTTLE BODY AND INTAKE VALVE

Description:  This DTC sets when the powertrain control module (PCM) detects an air leak that exceeds a predetermined limit for greater than 5 seconds. If the air flow entering the engine exceeds the air flow through the throttle, a leak is detected and this diagnostic fails.
Possible Causes: 
  • Unmetered air leaks between throttle body and intake valves
  • Air leaks at the intake manifold
  • Positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) system is leaking or the valve is stuck open
Diagnostic Aids:  Verify the integrity of the PCV system. Refer to POSITIVE CRANKCASE VENTILATION (PCV) SYSTEM for system information.
