Generic · emissions
Data confidence65%
The control module detected an interruption (open circuit) in the Reductant Control Module Power Relay/Relays Control circuit, so the expected electrical continuity was not present.
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.
