P2226 — Barometric Pressure Circuit
The ECU detects a general fault in the barometric pressure sensor circuit. The atmospheric pressure value used for altitude compensation and fuel/air calculation is not available or implausible.
General code reference. Confirm the definition and diagnostic procedure for your vehicle's year, model and engine. A stored code alone does not identify a failed part.
Affected components
- Barometric pressure sensor
- Bps wiring
Possible causes to check
These are possible checks, not a ranked diagnosis. Follow the vehicle manufacturer's test procedure before replacing parts.
- Defective barometric pressure sensor
- Wiring fault to BPS
Diagnostic notes
- The malfunction indicator lamp may illuminate
- This code can affect emissions
- A drive cycle may be required after repair
