10. Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS. 

Is DTC P2227 indicated?  

YES -Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the ECM/PCM. If the ECM/PCM was updated, 
substitute a known-good ECM/PCM (see SUBSTITUTING THE ECM/PCM ), then go to step 8. If the 
ECM/PCM was substituted, go to step 1. 

NO -Go to step 11. 

11. Monitor the OBD STATUS for DTC P2227 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS. 

Does the screen indicate PASSED?  

YES -If the ECM/PCM was updated, troubleshooting is complete. If the ECM/PCM was substituted, 
replace the original ECM/PCM (see ECM/PCM REPLACEMENT ). If any other Temporary DTCs or 
DTCs were indicated in step 10, go to the INDICATED DTCS TROUBLESHOOTING. 

NO -If the screen indicates FAILED, check for poor connections or loose terminals at the ECM/PCM. If 
the ECM/PCM was updated, substitute a known-good ECM/PCM (see SUBSTITUTING THE 
ECM/PCM ), then go to step 8. If the ECM/PCM was substituted, go to step 1. If the screen indicates 
NOT COMPLETED, go to step 8. 

DTC P2228: BARO SENSOR CIRCUIT LOW VOLTAGE 

1. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).  

2. Check the BARO SENSOR in the DATA LIST with the HDS. 

Is about 53 kPa (15.6 in.Hg, 397 mmHg), or 1.31 V or less indicated?  

YES -Go to step 3. 

NO -Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. 

3. Update the ECM/PCM if it does not have the latest software (see UPDATING THE ECM/PCM ), or 

substitute a known-good ECM/PCM (see SUBSTITUTING THE ECM/PCM ).  

4. Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS. 

NOTE:

Before you troubleshoot, record all freeze data and any on-board snapshot, and 
review the general troubleshooting information (see GENERAL 
TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION ).

Is DTC P2228 indicated?  

YES -Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the ECM/PCM. If the ECM/PCM was updated, 
substitute a known-good ECM/PCM (see SUBSTITUTING THE ECM/PCM ), then recheck. If the 
ECM/PCM was substituted, go to step 1. 

NO -If the ECM/PCM was updated, troubleshooting is complete. If the ECM/PCM was substituted, 
replace the original ECM/PCM (see ECM/PCM REPLACEMENT ). If any other Temporary DTCs or 
DTCs are indicated, go to the INDICATED DTCS TROUBLESHOOTING. 

DTC P2229: BARO SENSOR CIRCUIT HIGH VOLTAGE 

1. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).  

2. Check the BARO SENSOR in the DATA LIST with the HDS. 

Is about 160 kPa (47.2 in.Hg, 1,200 mmHg), or 4.49 V or more indicated?  

YES -Go to step 3. 

NO -Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. 

3. Update the ECM/PCM if it does not have the latest software (see UPDATING THE ECM/PCM ), or 

substitute a known-good ECM/PCM (see SUBSTITUTING THE ECM/PCM ).  

4. Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS. 

Is DTC P2229 indicated?  

YES -Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the ECM/PCM. If the ECM/PCM was updated, 
substitute a known-good ECM/PCM (see SUBSTITUTING THE ECM/PCM ), then recheck. If the 
ECM/PCM was substituted, go to step 1. 

NO -If the ECM/PCM was updated, troubleshooting is complete. If the ECM/PCM was substituted, 
replace the original ECM/PCM (see ECM/PCM REPLACEMENT ). If any other Temporary DTCs or 
DTCs are indicated, go to the INDICATED DTCS TROUBLESHOOTING. 

DTC P2238: A/F SENSOR (SENSOR 1) AFS+ CIRCUIT LOW VOLTAGE 

1. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).  

NOTE:

Before you troubleshoot, record all freeze data and any on-board snapshot, and 
review the general troubleshooting information (see GENERAL 
TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION ).

2. Clear the DTC with the HDS.  

3. Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS. 

Is DTC P2238 indicated?  

YES -Go to step 4. 

NO -Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at 
the A/F sensor (Sensor 1) and the ECM/PCM. 

4. Turn the ignition switch OFF.  

5. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.  

6. Disconnect the A/F sensor (Sensor 1) 4P connector.  

7. Disconnect ECM/PCM connector A (31P).  

8. Check for continuity between ECM/PCM connector terminal A31 and body ground.
