Reductant Temperature Sensor A Circuit High
Reductant temperature sensor A reads above its upper plausibility limit — open signal or short to B+.
Affected components
- Reductant temperature sensor
Common causes
- High likelihood: Open signal line
- Low likelihood: Connector pins corroded - high contact resistance
- Low likelihood: Supply wire pinched against B+ source
Possible symptoms
- Check engine light or NOx warning on
- AdBlue/DEF level or quality warning
- Possible no-start countdown after ignore period
- Failed emissions inspection (NOx)
