What P205B means

P205B
Reductant Tank Temperature Sensor A Circuit Range/Performance Generic · emissions Data confidence 85%

The control module judged the Reductant Tank Temperature Sensor A signal implausible: it stayed inside electrical limits but did not match the value expected for the current operating conditions.

Symptoms

  • MIL or SCR/AdBlue warning illuminated
  • Possible start-count-down or torque limitation on some applications

Possible causes

  • Wiring
  • reductant tank temperature sensor
  • ECM

Recommended checks

  • Read NOx sensor values and dosing system status
  • Check reductant level and quality data
  • Inspect dosing valve, lines and heater operation
  • Check wiring and connectors of the SCR components
  • Check for OEM technical bulletins and software updates
