Reductant Injection Valve Circuit High Bank 2 Unit 2
The reductant injection valve circuit on bank 2 is reading a higher voltage than expected, indicating an electrical fault in the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system. This prevents proper injection of urea/reductant fluid needed to reduce NOx emissions, potentially causing catalyst damage and emission control failure.
What You Might Notice
- Diminished engine performance
- Excessive black smoke from exhaust
- Reduced fuel efficiency
- Check engine light illumination
- Other SCR-related fault codes present
Most Common Causes
- 1
Defective reductant injection valve
The solenoid valve controlling reductant flow has failed electrically or mechanically, causing abnormal circuit voltage readings.
- 2
Wiring or connector issues
Open, shorted, or corroded wiring and connectors in the reductant valve circuit can produce high voltage signals.
- 3
ECU or control module fault
The engine control unit or SCR control module may be malfunctioning and unable to properly regulate valve voltage.
- 4
Reductant system blockage
Crystallized or contaminated reductant fluid can cause valve strain, leading to electrical circuit faults.
How to Diagnose It
- 1
Check Defective reductant injection valve — The solenoid valve controlling reductant flow has failed electrically or mechanically, causing abnormal circuit voltage readings.
- 2
Check Wiring or connector issues — Open, shorted, or corroded wiring and connectors in the reductant valve circuit can produce high voltage signals.
- 3
Check ECU or control module fault — The engine control unit or SCR control module may be malfunctioning and unable to properly regulate valve voltage.
- 4
Check Reductant system blockage — Crystallized or contaminated reductant fluid can cause valve strain, leading to electrical circuit faults.
How to Fix It
- 1
Inspect and repair wiring
Check the reductant injection valve wiring harness for corrosion, breaks, or loose connections. Repair or replace damaged wiring and ensure proper connector seating.
- 2
Replace reductant injection valve
Remove and replace the faulty solenoid injection valve on bank 2 unit 2 with a new OEM component.
- 3
Flush and refill reductant system
Drain contaminated reductant fluid, flush the system to remove crystallized deposits, and refill with quality urea solution to restore proper valve operation.
- 4
Test or replace SCR control module
Perform diagnostic testing on the SCR control module; reprogram if possible or replace if the module is internally faulty and unable to regulate valve circuits.
