P0227

Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor/Switch C Circuit Low Input

DTC P0227, sometimes indicated as P022700 is an OBD diagnostic trouble code indicating a generic fault with the vehicle powertrain (i.e. engine and gearbox). This code identifies an error with the air/fuel mixture causing throttle/pedal position sensor/switch c circuit low input.

The throttle/pedal position sensor/switch C circuit low input is caused by a problem with the throttle or pedal position sensor/switch C circuit. This problem can be caused by a wiring problem, a bad sensor, or a problem with the circuit itself.
There are several things that can be done to try to fix this problem. The first is to check the wiring for any signs of damage or shorts. The next is to test the sensor for proper function. If the sensor is good, the next step is to check the circuit for any problems.
