DTC P1228 - Barometric Pressure Below Minimum Threshold🔗

Conditions for Setting DTC P1228🔗

  • Engine Running
  • Barometric Pressure Sensor ≤ 1.51 psi
  • The above must be present for a period of 128 instances/cycles or greater to trigger DTC P1228

Diagnostic Steps🔗

Step Action Value(s) YES NO
1 - Key on, Engine running
- Within VCM Live, open the Baro sensor DTC Minimum parameter, does the Baro sensor parameter display 1.51 psi or less?
≤ 1.51 psi Go to Step 2 Intermittent Issue - Refer to Intermittent Diagnostics
2 - Disconnect the Baro pressure sensor connector and ECU connector "C"
- Check for continuity between Baro pressure sensor low reference cavity 1 and ECU connector SP3
- Do you have continuity?
Go to Step 3 Repair the circuit as necessary, locate any wires that need to be repaired or replaced
3 - Disconnect the Baro pressure sensor connector and ECU connector "C"
- Check for continuity between Baro pressure sensor 5 volt reference cavity 2 and ECU connector SP6
- Do you have continuity?
Go to Step 4 Repair the circuit as necessary, locate any wires that need to be repaired or replaced
4 - Disconnect the Baro pressure sensor connector and ECU connector "C"
- Check for continuity between Baro pressure sensor signal cavity 3 and ECU connector "C" pin 29
- Do you have continuity?
Go to Step 5 Repair the circuit as necessary, locate any wires that need to be repaired or replaced
5 - Disconnect the Baro pressure sensor connector and ECU connector "C"
- Check for any physical damage, corrosion, or contamination of any of the pins
- Any issues found?
Repair any pins and circuit as necessary. Go to Step 6
6 - Replace the Baro Pressure Sensor
- Is the replacement complete?
Go to Step 7 N/A
7 - Clear any DTC from the ECU
- Turn the ignition off and wait 30 seconds
- Start the engine and operate the engine to full operating temperature
- Observe the Check Engine Light on the Menu bar in VCM Live
- After operating the engine within the test parameters, check for any store codes
- Does the engine operate without any stored DTCs?
