Frequently asked questions about P202A
What does P202A mean?
Reductant tank heater control - open circuit. The control module detected an interruption (open circuit) in the Reductant tank heater control circuit, so the expected electrical continuity was not present.
Is P202A generic or manufacturer-specific?
P202A is a generic OBD-II code: it has the same meaning on every make and model that follows the SAE standard.
Can TuningBot remove P202A at file level?
If the fault logic lives in the ECU calibration, yes: our DTC Removal file service disables the specific fault entry and, where the ECU needs it, corrects the checksum too. Not sure whether your case qualifies? Request a free assessment and our engineers will check your ECU file.
