USING THE EDGE AND QUAD THRU A CODE 2228. PULLED THE EDGE AND CAME BACK. THEN PULLED THE QUAD AND CAME BACK WHAT IS GOING ON?:mad:

DTC P2228 (Federal RPO FE9, NG1)
Circuit Description
The barometric pressure (BARO) sensor responds to changes in altitude and atmospheric conditions. This gives the engine control module (ECM) an indication of barometric pressure. The ECM uses this information to calculate fuel delivery. The BARO sensor has a 5-volt reference circuit, a low reference circuit, and a signal circuit. The ECM supplies 5 volts to the BARO sensor on a 5-volt reference circuit, and provides a ground on a low reference circuit. The BARO sensor provides a voltage signal to the ECM on a signal circuit relative to the pressure changes. The ECM monitors the BARO sensor signal for voltage outside of the normal range. If the ECM detects a BARO sensor signal voltage that is excessively low, this DTC will set.

Conditions for Running the DTC
The ignition is ON.

Conditions for Setting the DTC
The BARO is less than 44 kPa for 2 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The first time the diagnostic fails, the control module stores this information in the Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a failure on the second consecutive ignition cycle, the control module records the operating conditions at the time of the failure. The control module writes the operating conditions to the Freeze Frame and updates the Failure Records.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
• The control module turns OFF the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) after 3 consecutive ignition cycles that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.

• A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the diagnostic runs and passes.

• A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any other emission related diagnostic.

• Clear the MIL and the DTC with a scan tool.

Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

The BARO sensor 5-volt reference circuit is shared with other sensors. If DTC P0651 is set, this indicates that the 5-volt reference circuit is shorted to ground and should be diagnosed first. The short may be on another sensor 5-volt reference circuit.

If you cannot duplicate the DTC, the information included in the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data can aid in locating an intermittent condition.

so in other words just take it to the dealer?

baro sensor is the sensor under the water pipe for upper rad hose, on same bracket for the bail connectors for engine. three wire plug into sensor, make sure it is plugged in, or there are no broken damaged wires.

look at the sensor, it is printed which wire is which, test the 5v ref and the ground at least. the other wire you'll need the schematic to trace it's feed.

could be as simple as loose connection, could be a freak ECM thing. might even have some junk in the sensor neck ( open to the air )

And like Max said, it could be another sensor on the same 5v ref circut causing the issue.

I Noticed That The Clip Was Not Locked On The Clump Of Wires. Locked It Down And The Check Engine Light Is Gone.

I have this same code but got it when I had my edge on. took it off and still have it. How can I get it cleared?
