01What it means & symptoms

P2244 is a powertrain diagnostic trouble code. It identifies a fault related to O2 Sensor Reference Voltage Performance Bank 1 Sensor 1. The powertrain control module monitors this circuit or component continuously and sets P2244 when the signal or value is outside the expected range, implausible or missing. This can affect engine performance, fuel economy or emissions and usually turns on the check-engine light. The base function may still work, but performance can be affected, so the fault should be diagnosed. Diagnosis generally means inspecting the related wiring, connectors and power/ground references, then verifying the component against specification with a scan tool.

  • Check-engine light illuminated
  • Possible rough running, reduced power or higher fuel consumption
  • Fault code stored in the control module
