DTC P2227
DTC P2227: Barometric Pressure (BARO) Sensor Circuit Out of Range High
General Description
The barometric pressure (BARO) sensor is built into the powertrain control module (PCM), and it monitors atmospheric pressure. The PCM estimates appropriate intake airflow from the manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor output voltage and the BARO sensor output voltage. If the BARO sensor output voltage is out of a specified range, the PCM detects a malfunction and stores a DTC.
Monitor Execution, Sequence, Duration, DTC Type, OBD Status
| Execution | Continuous |
| Sequence | None |
| Duration | 2.0 seconds or more |
| DTC Type | Two drive cycles, MIL on |
| OBD Status | PASSED/FAILED/NOT COMPLETED (STILL TESTING) |
Enable Conditions
| Condition | |
|---|---|
| Engine start/stop button | ON mode |
| No active DTCs set (prevents monitor from running) | P2228, P2229 |
Malfunction Threshold
The BARO sensor output voltage [BARO SENSOR] is 3.59 V or more and 4.49 V or less, for at least 2.0 seconds.

Possible Cause
NOTE: The causes shown may not be a complete list of all potential problems, and it is possible that there may be other causes.
- BARO sensor failure
- PCM internal circuit failure
Diagnosis Details
Conditions for setting the DTC
When a malfunction is detected during the first drive cycle, a Pending DTC is stored in the PCM memory. If the malfunction returns in the next (second) drive cycle, the MIL comes on and a Confirmed DTC and the freeze data are stored.
Conditions for clearing the DTC
The MIL is cleared if the malfunction does not return in three consecutive trips in which the diagnostic runs. The MIL, the Pending DTC, the Confirmed DTC, and the freeze data can be cleared with the scan tool Clear command or by disconnecting the battery.
