Pinpoint Tests RI: Reductant Temperature Sensor: Introduction

2021 Ford Transit-350 HD Base, Van Cargo Extended, 3.5L Eng VIN 8, AWDSECTION Introduction
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 9 other vehicles, including the 2022 Ford F-550 Super Duty, 2022 Ford F-450 Super Duty, 2022 Ford F-350 Super Duty, 2022 Ford F-250 Super Duty, and 2021 Ford F-550 Super Duty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Regeneration may occur during normal operation. During regeneration, diagnostic procedures may display biased values. If a regeneration occurs during diagnostic procedures, allow the process to complete before continuing diagnostics.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

  • reductant temperature sensor
  • reductant pump assembly
  • harness circuits: RDT and SIGRTN
  • reductant dosage control module (5H298)
  • PCM (12A650)
