P05F5 Powertrain

Exhaust Aftertreatment Power Relay Control Circuit High

Same as P05F3 with the control line shorted to supply. Wiring faults of this kind typically come from chafing, water ingress at connector seals, or pin push-back — a wiggle test on the harness while the code is active often confirms the location.

Affected components

  • Aftertreatment power relay

Common causes

  • High likelihood: Control line shorted to supply
  • Low likelihood: Connector pins corroded - high contact resistance
  • Low likelihood: Supply wire pinched against B+ source

Diagnostic notes

  • The malfunction indicator lamp may illuminate
  • This code can affect emissions
