Model: F-350 Fault Code: P2043 Posted: 2020-11-22 07:14

I have replaced the reductant heater unit and verified all wires and connectors on my 2015 Ford F-350, but the P2043 diagnostic code persists. What should I check next to resolve this issue? The P2043 code indicates a problem with the reductant temperature sensor or its associated circuit. Common causes include: - Defective reductant temperature sensor - Open or shorted circuits in the reductant temperature sensor system - Faulty SCR controller or PCM with programming errors I've followed the manufacturer's test procedures, but the code remains. Can anyone confirm the correct diagnostic steps for this specific issue on a 2015 F-350?
