DTC P0222

TP sensor No.2 circuit low input

DETECTION CONDITION

• If PCM detects TP sensor No.2 voltage is to be below 0.2 V after the ignition switch to the ON position, the PCM determines that TP circuit has a malfunction.
Diagnostic support note
• This is a continuous monitor (CCM).
• The MIL illuminates if the PCM detects the above malfunction condition in the first drive cycle.
• PENDING CODE is available if the PCM detects the above malfunction condition.
• FREEZE FRAME DATA is available.
• Are any DTCs is stored in the PCM memory.

POSSIBLE CAUSE

• TP sensor No.2 malfunction
• Connector or terminal malfunction
• Open circuit in wiring harness between throttle body terminal B and PCM terminal 2AO
• Short to ground in wiring harness between throttle body terminal B and PCM terminal 2AO
• Open circuit in wiring harness between throttle body terminal C and PCM terminal 2AL
• Short to ground in wiring harness between throttle body terminal C and PCM terminal 2AL
• PCM malfunction

Diagnostic procedure

STEP

INSPECTION

ACTION

1
VERIFY FREEZE FRAME DATA AND DIAGNOSTIC MONITORING TEST RESULTS HAS BEEN RECORDED
• Has FREEZE FRAME DATA been recorded?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Record the FREEZE FRAME on the repair order, then go to the next step.
2
VERIFY RELATED REPAIR INFORMATION AVAILABILITY
• Verify related Service Information availability.
• Is any related Service Information available?
Yes
Perform repair or diagnosis according to the available Service information.
If the vehicle is not repaired, go to the next step.
No
Go to the next step.
3
INSPECT THROTTLE BODY CONNECTOR FOR POOR CONNECTION
• Turn the ignition switch off.
• Disconnect the throttle body connector.
• Inspect for poor connection (such as damaged/pulled-out pins, corrosion).
• Is there any malfunction?
Yes
Repair or replace the terminal, then go to Step 8.
No
Go to the next step.
4
INSPECT TP SENSOR NO.2 CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO GROUND
• Turn the ignition switch off.
• Inspect for continuity between the following circuits:
- Throttle body terminal B (wiring harness-side) and body ground
- Throttle body terminal C (wiring harness-side) and body ground
• Is there continuity?
Yes
Repair or replace the wiring harness for a possible short to ground, then go to Step 8.
No
Go to the next step.
5
INSPECT TP SENSOR NO.2
• Inspect TP sensor No.2.
• Is there any malfunction?
Yes
Replace the throttle body, then go to Step 8.
No
Go to the next step.
6
INSPECT PCM CONNECTOR FOR POOR CONNECTION
• Turn the ignition switch off.
• Disconnect the PCM connector.
• Inspect for poor connection (such as damaged/pulled-out pins, corrosion).
• Is there any malfunction?
Yes
Repair or replace the terminal, then go to Step 8.
No
Go to the next step.
7
INSPECT TP SENSOR NO.2 CIRCUIT FOR OPEN CIRCUIT
• Turn the ignition switch off.
• Inspect for continuity between the following terminals:
- Throttle body terminal B (wiring harness-side) and PCM terminal 2AO (wiring harness-side)
- Throttle body terminal C (wiring harness-side) and PCM terminal 2AL (wiring harness-side)
• Is there continuity?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Repair or replace the wiring harness for a possible an open circuit, then go to the next step.
8
VERIFY TROUBLESHOOTING OF DTC P0222 COMPLETED
• Make sure to reconnect all disconnected connectors.
• Clear the DTC from the PCM memory using the WDS or equivalent.
• Start the engine.
• Is the same DTC present?
Yes
Replace the PCM, then go to the next step.
No
Go to the next step.
9
VERIFY AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE
• Perform the "AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE".
• Are any DTCs present?
Yes
Go to the applicable DTC inspection.
No
DTC troubleshooting completed.
