DTC P2229: Barometric Pressure Circuit High Input


CIRCUIT OPERATION
• A 5-volt voltage is supplied to the barometric pressure sensor power terminal (terminal No. 1) from the ECM (terminal No. 81) <M/T> or PCM (terminal No. 46) <A/T>. The ground terminal (terminal No. 5) is grounded with ECM (terminal No. 40) <M/T> or PCM (terminal No. 16) <A/T>.
• A voltage that is proportional to the atmospheric pressure is sent to the ECM (terminal No. 85) <M/T> or PCM (terminal No. 55) <A/T> from the barometric pressure sensor output terminal (terminal No. 2).
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
• The barometric pressure sensor outputs a voltage which corresponds to the barometric pressure.
• The ECM <M/T> or PCM <A/T> checks whether this voltage is within a specified range.
DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS
• If the barometric pressure sensor output is out of the actual predictable atmospheric pressure range [higher than 113 kPa (33 in.Hg)], a malfunction is determined to have occurred.

Check Conditions
2 seconds or more have passed since the starting sequence was completed.
Battery positive voltage is higher than 8 volts.

Judgement Criterion
• Barometric pressure sensor output signal has continued to be approximately 113 kPa (33 in.Hg) or higher (approximately 4,000 ft below sea level) for 10 seconds.

Refer to Diagnostic Function - OBD-II Drive Cycle - Pattern 19 .
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (The most likely causes for this code to be set are:
• Barometric pressure sensor failed.
• Open or shorted barometric pressure sensor circuit, or connector damage.
• ECM failed. <M/T>
• PCM failed. <A/T>
