P2AD6: Reductant Pump Motor Position Sensor Circuit

Standardized SAE J2012 code · P2Axx codes

What does P2AD6 mean?

The ECM detects a generic fault on the reductant pump motor position sensor circuit. Reading cannot be used reliably for control.

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 Sensor failed
  • Medium Wiring or connector fault

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