Meaning, symptoms, causes and checks

P214E concerns reductant pump A current. The monitor reports electrical current above the expected operating limit. Current is the reported electrical quantity. The code does not state that reductant pressure or pump supply voltage is too high.

Affected system: Reductant dosing and SCR aftertreatment

Symptoms

  • Warning light may illuminate
  • Related system function may be impaired
  • Vehicle-specific symptoms vary

Possible causes

  • Implausible sensor or switch signal, poor ground, connector corrosion, or wiring damage
  • Related wiring, connector, power or ground fault
  • Vehicle-specific mechanical or control issue

What to check

  • Record stored and pending codes and freeze-frame data
  • Compare the named sensor or switch signal with actual operating conditions; inspect the connector, reference supply, ground and harness.
  • Confirm measured values against the vehicle service information
  • Retest under the conditions that set the code
  • Compare the named sensor or switch signal with actual operating conditions; inspect the connector, reference supply, ground and harness.
  • Repair the verified cause and confirm the code does not return
