Lexus ES: Barometric Pressure Sensor "A" Circuit Short to Ground (P222611,P222615)
DESCRIPTION
The atmospheric pressure sensor is built into the ECM. The ECM provides optimal control in response to atmospheric pressure fluctuations.
| DTC No. | Detection Item | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area | MIL | Memory | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| P222611 | Barometric Pressure Sensor "A" Circuit Short to Ground | Short in atmospheric pressure sensor circuit (ECM internal malfunction) (1 trip detection logic). | ECM | Comes on | DTC stored | SAE Code: P2228 |
| P222615 | Barometric Pressure Sensor "A" Circuit Short to Battery or Open | Open or short in atmospheric pressure sensor circuit (ECM internal malfunction) (1 trip detection logic). | ECM | Comes on | DTC stored | SAE Code: P2229 |
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECM calculates the atmospheric pressure from the atmospheric pressure sensor output voltage. When the atmospheric sensor assembly output voltage is outside of the normal range, there may be an open or short in the atmospheric pressure sensor circuit or the atmospheric pressure sensor may be malfunctioning. In this case, the ECM will illuminate the MIL and store a DTC.
MONITOR STRATEGY

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN
HINT:
-
After repair has been completed, clear the DTC and then check that the vehicle has returned to normal by performing the following All Readiness check procedure.

-
When clearing the permanent DTCs, refer to the "CLEAR PERMANENT DTC" procedure.
Click here
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the power switch on (IG).
- Turn the Techstream on.
- Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
- Turn the power switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
- Turn the power switch on (IG).
- Turn the Techstream on.
- Wait 5 seconds or more [A].
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes [B].
-
Read the pending DTCs.
HINT:
- If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
- If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / All Readiness.
- Input the DTC: P222611 or P222615.
-
Check the DTC judgment result.
Techstream Display
Description
NORMAL
- DTC judgment completed
- System normal
ABNORMAL
- DTC judgment completed
- System abnormal
INCOMPLETE
- DTC judgment not completed
- Perform driving pattern after confirming DTC enabling conditions
HINT:
- If the judgment result is NORMAL, the system is normal.
- If the judgment result is ABNORMAL, the system is malfunctioning.
-
[A] to [B]: Normal judgment procedure.
The normal judgment procedure is used to complete DTC judgment and also used when clearing permanent DTCs.
- When clearing the permanent DTCs, do not disconnect the cable from the auxiliary battery terminal or attempt to clear the DTCs during this procedure, as doing so will clear the universal trip and normal judgment histories.
CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
NOTICE:
-
Vehicle Control History may be stored in the hybrid vehicle control ECU assembly if the engine is malfunctioning. Certain vehicle condition information is recorded when Vehicle Control History is stored. Reading the vehicle conditions recorded in both the Freeze Frame Data and Vehicle Control History can be useful for troubleshooting.

(Select Powertrain in Health Check and then check the time stamp data.)

-
If any "Engine Malfunction" Vehicle Control History item has been stored in the hybrid vehicle control ECU assembly, make sure to clear it. However, as all Vehicle Control History items are cleared simultaneously, if any Vehicle Control History items other than "Engine Malfunction" are stored, make sure to perform any troubleshooting for them before clearing Vehicle Control History.

HINT:
Read Freeze Frame Data using the Techstream. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as Freeze Frame Data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, Freeze Frame Data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
PROCEDURE

(b) Turn the power switch on (IG).
(c) Turn the Techstream on.
