P2043 - REDUCTANT Temperature Sensor Circuit Range/Performance

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Ford Pickup, 2012 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2012 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2012 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
P2043 - REDUCTANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR CIRCUIT RANGE/PERFORMANCE

Description:  The powertrain control module (PCM) completes a plausibility check on the reductant temperature sensor after a 6-hour cold soak by comparing the reductant temperature (RDT) signal to the ambient air temperature (AAT) and engine coolant temperature (ECT) signals on startup. This DTC sets if the RDT deviates more than 20°C (68°F) from the AAT and ECT.
Possible Causes: 
  • Slow responding reductant temperature sensor
  • Damaged reductant temperature sensor
Diagnostic Aids:  Diagnose and repair all circuit DTCs before diagnosing P2043.
