DTC P0222 00: TP Sensor No. 2 Circuit Low Input: Notes

DTC P0222:00 DETECTION CONDITIONS AND POSSIBLE CAUSES (SKYACTIV-G 2.0, SKYACTIV-G 2.5)

DTC P0222:00  TP sensor No. 2 circuit low input 
DETECTION CONDITION 
  • If the PCM detects that the TP sensor No. 2 voltage at the PCM terminal 1 BU is below 0.1 V  , the PCM determines that the TP sensor No. 2 circuit has a malfunction.

Diagnostic support note 
  • This is a continuous monitor (CCM).
  • The check engine light illuminates if the PCM defects the above malfunction condition during the first drive cycle.
  • FREEZE FRAME DATA (Mode 2)/Snapshot data is available.
  • DTC is stored in the PCM memory.
FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION 
  • Restricts the upper limit of the engine speed.
POSSIBLE CAUSE 
  • Throttle body connector or terminals malfunction
  • Short to ground in wiring harness between the following terminals:
    • Throttle body terminal B-PCM terminal 1BS
    • Throttle body terminal C-PCM terminal 1 BU
  • PCM connector or terminals malfunction
  • TP sensor No. 2 signal circuit and ground circuit are shorted to each other
  • Open circuit in wiring harness between the following terminals:
    • Throttle body terminal B-PCM terminal 1BS
    • Throttle body terminal C-PCM terminal 1BU
  • TP sensor No. 2 malfunction
  • PCM malfunction
