P24DF: Reductant Purge Control Valve B Stuck Open

Standardized SAE J2012 code · P24xx — Auxiliary emission controls

What does P24DF mean?

Purge valve B is mechanically stuck open - AdBlue lines drain continuously, dosing pressure cannot build.

The code tells you which monitor failed, not which part is broken. Test before replacing parts.

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)

Common causes

  • High Valve stuck open
  • Low Carbon or debris buildup preventing free movement
  • Low Component wear with age - mechanical play

Likelihood is a general estimate across vehicles; your make and model may differ.
