P202B Severity
Identifying an OBD code is just the start of a complete diagnostic routine. Most trouble codes are caused by a sensor reporting a value that is out of range. Just replacing a sensor may not fix underlying issues. Be sure to understand the code, the part or system in your car that the code refers to, and the risks of delaying professional repair.
Proper diagnosis will save you time and money on unnecessary repairs.
Urgent codes indicate immediate action is necessary. These are urgent and significant malfunctions that can cause severe damage to the vehicle or harm the driver and passengers.
Newer diesel vehicles have a Diesel Particulate Filter to reduce soot emissions. This filter uses DEF Fluid to assist in the burning off soot. The Reductant Tank Heater heats the DEF Fluid to the temperature is more efficient. If the engine control module (PCM) detects the Reductant Tank Heater is not operating properly, it will set code P202B.
