Family: Reductant Overtemperature Condition
Code P24FF: Reductant Temperature Too High
Diagnostic & Technical Explanation
Code P24FF (Reductant Temperature Too High) sets when the ECM's reductant temperature sensor reports diesel exhaust fluid at a genuinely elevated temperature that risks urea decomposition and dosing-system damage, rather than a sensor circuit fault. Causes are a failed reductant heater control relay stuck energized, a heater element failing to shut off, or the tank/lines routed too close to a hot exhaust component after service work.
