When DTC P0299 is set, the ECM will disable boost control and limit the system to mechanical boost only, resulting in a substantial decrease in engine power.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">DTC P2227 may set if the actual value of the Barometric Pressure Sensor (BARO) is not within a predetermined range of the calculated BARO.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">If these conditions are found, inspect the air induction system, including the charge air cooler, for signs of ice restricting the air flow or covering any related pressure sensors. These inspections should be performed prior to following the diagnostic steps for any set DTCs or performing any service as recommended in other bulletins or PI\u2019s. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Allow any ice to melt so that the moisture can be drained from the induction system, including the charge air cooler, without component damage. Once any excessive moisture has been removed, retest the engine performance and follow the normal diagnostic steps for any symptoms found.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><i>&#8211; Thanks to Rob Halas<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Turbocharged gasoline engines on some 2000-2019 GM models may experience poor performance in very cold ambient temperatures (32 \u00b0F, 0 \u00b0C or lower).
