P205E
Reductant Tank Temperature Sensor A Circuit Intermittent/Erratic
What it means
P205E means Reductant Tank Temperature Sensor A Circuit Intermittent/Erratic.
Where it lives
For P205E, the circuit described runs through the sensor. The description of P205E reports a fault at the sensor.
Check these first
- A loose reductant tank temperature sensor A connector
- Water intrusion in the tank sensor A connector
- Intermittent chafing on the sensor A harness
- A failing tank sensor A that drops signal at times
What to do next
- Read reductant tank temperature sensor A while wiggling the harness
- Inspect the sensor A connector for water or corrosion
- Test the sensor A circuit for intermittent opens
- Check the sensor A ground for a voltage drop
- Replace the reductant tank temperature sensor A if the fault repeats
- Clear the code and retest
