P2060 Fault Code

P2060 OBD-II Trouble Code Short Description

Reductant Injection Air Pump Control Circuit Low

What does trouble code P2060 mean?

The P2060 fault code indicates an issue with the Reductant Injection Air Pump Control Circuit being low, which typically affects vehicles equipped with selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems. This system is crucial for reducing nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions by injecting a urea solution into the exhaust stream. When the control circuit is low, it can lead to ineffective operation of the air pump, which may ultimately affect the vehicle's emission controls.

Symptoms

What are the symptoms of the P2060 code?

Common symptoms associated with the P2060 code include:

  • Dashboard warning lights illuminated, such as the check engine light
  • Poor engine performance or reduced power
  • Increased emissions, potentially leading to failed emissions tests
  • Difficulty starting the engine or rough idling

Causes

What causes the P2060 code?

Several factors can contribute to the P2060 code, including:

  • A malfunctioning reductant injection air pump
  • Damaged or corroded wiring/connectors within the control circuit
  • A faulty control module sending incorrect signals
  • Issues with the vehicle's electrical system, such as low voltage conditions

Possible Solutions

How to fix P2060?

To resolve a P2060 fault code, the following steps should be taken:

  • Inspect the reductant injection air pump and its control wiring for any damage or disconnections.
  • Test the electrical components to ensure they are functioning properly and supplying the correct voltage.
  • Replace any faulty components, such as the pump or control relay, if necessary.
  • Clear the fault code after repairs and perform a road test to ensure the issue is resolved.
