Diagnostic Instructions
    • Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle prior to using this diagnostic procedure.
    • Review Strategy Based Diagnosis for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
    •  Diagnostic Procedure Instructions provide an overview of each diagnostic category.

DTC Descriptor

DTC P2282: Intake Manifold Air Leak

Circuit/System Description

The engine control module (ECM) compares actual vacuum reading of the manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor at idle to a calculated vacuum reading.

Conditions for Running the DTC
    • The evaporative emission (EVAP) purge canister commanded state is less than 100 percent.
    • The barometric pressure (BARO) is greater than 72 kPa.
    • The engine coolant temperature is greater than -10°C (14°F).
    • The intake air temperature (IAT) sensor is greater than -20°C (-4°F).
    • The ignition 1 voltage is between 11-16 volts.
    • The engine has been operating for 2 seconds.
    • The DTC runs continuously when the above conditions are met for 3 seconds.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The ECM detects that the actual vacuum reading is greater than the calculated vacuum.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

DTC P2282 is a Type B DTC.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

DTC P2282 is a Type B DTC.

Circuit/System Verification
  1. Operate the vehicle within the conditions for running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records. DTC P2282 should not set.
  2. If the vehicle passes the Circuit/System Verification test, then operate the vehicle within the conditions for running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that are captured in the Freeze Frame/Failure Records List.

Circuit/System Testing
  1. Verify that none of the following conditions exist:
    2. • The air intake duct system for loose connecting clamps, cracks, or other damage
    • A damaged throttle body blade or shaft
    • Splits, kinks, or improper connections at the vacuum hoses
    • An exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system leak
    • Faulty positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) system operation
    • Carbon deposits on the throttle blade--Refer to Throttle Body Inspection and Cleaning .
    • Vacuum leaks at the intake manifold, throttle body, and injector O-rings
  2. If all conditions test normal, test the engine for proper camshaft timing. Refer to Timing Belt Replacement .

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
