P0228

DTC P0228, sometimes indicated as P022800 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 high input.

The throttle position sensor (TPS) is responsible for reading the position of the throttle plate and sending this information to the engine control unit (ECU). If the TPS reports a high input, it may be due to a dirty or faulty sensor. Other possible causes include a broken wire or connector, or a problem with the ECU.
If the P0228 code is stored, it is recommended to check the TPS and its associated wiring for damage or corrosion. If no damage is found, the next step is to test the sensor for proper function. If the sensor is found to be faulty, it will need to be replaced.

• P0228: Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor/Switch C Circuit High Input
• P0228: Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor/Switch "C" Circuit High
• P0228: TPS/Pedal Position Sensor/Switch C Circuit High Input
• P0228: Throttle position (TP) sensor C/accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor C – high input
• P0228: Throttle position (TP) switch C/accelerator pedal position (APP) switch C – high input
• P0228 00: Damage to the damping sensor: throttle or damping sensor: acceleration pedaf - short circuit to power supply plus
• P0228 00: Throttle position (TP) sensor C/accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor C - high input
• P0228 00: Throttle position (TP) switch C/accelerator pedal position (APP) switch C - high input

These codes are commonly diagnosed with error code P0228.
