What it means
P20AE means Reductant Metering Unit Temperature Sensor Circuit Low.
Where it lives
For P20AE, the circuit described runs through the sensor. The description of P20AE reports a fault at the sensor.
Check these first
- A short to ground on the reductant metering unit temperature sensor signal wire
- A failed reductant metering unit temperature sensor
- A corroded metering unit connector pulling the signal low
- A low DEF level at the metering unit
What to do next
- Read reductant metering unit temperature on a scan tool
- Test the sensor signal wire for a short to ground
- Inspect the metering unit connector for corrosion
- Check the DEF level at the metering unit
- Replace the reductant metering unit temperature sensor if the circuit tests good
- Clear the code and retest
