Code P204D Ford Description

The Reductant Pressure Sensor, located in the Reductant Pump and Sensor Assembly, responds to pressure changes in the reductant system. The Reductant Control Module supplies 5 V to the reductant pressure sensor on the 5 V reference circuit and provides a ground on the low reference circuit. The reductant pressure sensor provides a signal to the Reductant Control Module on the sensor signal circuit relative to the pressure changes in the reductant system. The Engine Control Module (ECM) is
connected to the Reductant Control Module via the Controller Area Network (CAN) bus. The Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be set when the ECM detects that the reductant pressure sensor signal is open or shorted to ground.
