P2BA8 — NOx Exceedence - Interruption of Reagent Dosing Activity
NOx emissions are above the legal threshold and the ECU isolates the cause to interruption of reductant dosing. The injection valve, pump, or supply line is impaired.
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 injection valve
- Reductant pump
- Scr module
Possible causes to check
These are possible checks, not a ranked diagnosis. Follow the vehicle manufacturer's test procedure before replacing parts.
- Reductant injection valve clogged
- Reductant pump output insufficient
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
- A drive cycle may be required after repair
- Reduced-power or limp mode may occur
