Reductant Level Sensor C Circuit Range/Performance
Generic · emissions
Data confidence65%
The control module judged the Reductant Level Sensor C 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
Reductant quality or level fault
Dosing valve or supply module fault
NOx sensor fault
Frozen or crystallized reductant lines
Wiring or connector fault
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
Powertrain: engine, transmission and driveline systems.

Frequently asked questions about P21AE
What does P21AE mean?
Reductant Level Sensor C Circuit Range/Performance. The control module judged the Reductant Level Sensor C signal implausible: it stayed inside electrical limits but did not match the value expected for the current operating conditions.
Is P21AE generic or manufacturer-specific?
P21AE is a generic OBD-II code: it has the same meaning on every make and model that follows the SAE standard.
Can TuningBot remove P21AE 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.
