Chevrolet Corvette · 2025–2025
GM released Bulletin #25-NA-239, 'Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) Illuminated - DTC P222B and/or P227B Set,' with fitment limited to 2025 Corvette models equipped with the 5.5L twin-turbo LT7 - that is, the ZR1 only. Both codes fall in the boost-control/turbocharger DTC block, and the paired 'A'/'B' code structure lines up with the LT7's two turbochargers and their separate boost control channels. Because the bulletin is engine-code specific, this fault cannot occur on the naturally aspirated LT6 Z06, the LT2 Stingray, or the E-Ray.
Common Symptoms
- Check Engine light (MIL) illuminated
- DTC P222B and/or P227B stored in the ECM
- Possible reduced boost or reduced power under full throttle
How to Fix
Have a Chevrolet dealer read the ECM, confirm P222B and/or P227B, and apply Bulletin #25-NA-239 for the 2025 LT7. Do not let a shop replace a turbocharger or boost-control actuator before the bulletin's diagnostic path has been followed - GM published this specifically to keep technicians from mis-diagnosing these two codes on the LT7. 2025 ZR1s remain inside the powertrain warranty, so this should be a no-charge repair.

Frequently asked questions
What does P227B mean?
P227B stands for "Barometric Pressure Sensor 2 Performance." General Motors names this code Barometric Pressure Sensor 2 Performance (in generic SAE terms, Barometric Pressure Sensor "C" Circuit Range/Performance). The ECM cross-checks each barometric pressure input against the others and against modelled ambient pressure. P227B sets when barometric pressure sensor 2 returns an irrational reading — one that is within its electrical limits but does not correlate with the rest of the pressure data. On multi-sensor forced-induction engines this code frequently appears alongside P222B, because the module is comparing several ambient/boost references against each other.
What are the most common causes of P227B?
The most common causes of P227B are: Failed or drifted barometric pressure sensor 2, Damaged, corroded or loose connector and wiring at the sensor, Blocked or contaminated sensor reference port, Induction system leak, loose charge-air pipe or restricted air filter upsetting the correlation, Software calibration out of date (check for applicable manufacturer bulletins), Faulty ECM (rare). The specific cause varies by vehicle.
How much does it cost to fix P227B?
Repair costs for P227B range from $200 to $2,500, depending on the vehicle and root cause.
