P209E — Reductant Injection Air Pressure Sensor A/B Correlation
The two reductant injection air-pressure sensors A and B disagree by more than the allowed tolerance — one is reading off, or there is a real pressure imbalance between the two air-assist branches.
General code reference. Confirm the definition and diagnostic procedure for your vehicle's year, model and engine. A stored code alone does not identify a failed part.
Affected components
- Reductant air pressure sensor
- Reductant air pump
Possible causes to check
These are possible checks, not a ranked diagnosis. Follow the vehicle manufacturer's test procedure before replacing parts.
- One sensor drifts relative to the other
- Real imbalance between air branches
Possible symptoms
- Check engine light or NOx warning on
- AdBlue/DEF level or quality warning
- Possible no-start countdown after ignore period
- Failed emissions inspection (NOx)
Diagnostic notes
- The malfunction indicator lamp may illuminate
- This code can affect emissions
