P20BF - REDUCTANT Heater B Control Circuit Low

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.
P20BF - REDUCTANT HEATER B CONTROL CIRCUIT LOW

Description:  The powertrain control module (PCM) carries out a functional key ON, engine running (KOER) self-test for the glow plug system. During that test the PCM enables the glow plug control module (GPCM) which monitors the RDHTRC2 circuit. When the GPCM detects that the RDHTRC2 circuit is drawing more than 15 amps for more than 250 milliseconds, a short to ground is suspect. The GPCM sends a message to the PCM, which sets this DTC.
Possible Causes: 
  • RDHTRC2 circuit short to ground in the harness
  • Damaged reductant pressure line heater
  • Damaged reductant pump assembly heater
Diagnostic Aids:  The presence of this DTC may indicate that the vehicle is operating in derate mode and may experience a loss of power.
