P22B7O2 Sensor Pumping Current Trim Circuit High (Bank 1 Sensor 2)

  • Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
  • Turns on the check-engine light
  • Matters for the ITP
  • Needs a drive cycle to confirm a fix
How the car detects it
P22B7 is, going by its title, the high fault on the trim circuit belonging to bank 1's downstream wide-band probe. In GM's diesel tables (2016, 2018 and 2025 group 04) the code is a ceiling test on the oxygen value of the second NOx sensor: the 2016 table flags readings above 24 %, which is more oxygen than fresh air holds, in 100 of 200 samples. The test runs only while exhaust back-pressure stays below its limit, no exhaust brake is active and no NOx sensor pressure fault is pending; GM rates it Type B, two trips. GM bulletin 21-NA-149 lists it for the 3.0 Duramax LM2 alongside harness chafing. No public source gives a trim-resistor threshold. P22B5 is the open, P22B6 the low case, P22C4 bank 2.

What you may notice
  • Check engine light
  • Downstream oxygen value above 21 % in live data
Likely causes
  • LikelyFaulty downstream NOx/oxygen sensor reporting excess oxygen
  • PossibleChafed engine harness affecting the sensor lines (GM 3.0 LM2)
  • RareTrim or signal wire shorted to a voltage source
Inspection (ITP)
Matters for the ITP. While the check-engine light is on, the car fails the emissions check.
