DTC P203A: REDUCTANT Level Sensor A Circuit

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford F-550 Super Duty, 2013 Ford F-450 Super Duty, 2013 Ford F-350 Super Duty, and 2013 Ford F-250 Super Duty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
DTC P203A: REDUCTANT LEVEL SENSOR A CIRCUIT

Description:  This DTC sets when the PCM detects an open or short to voltage on the RDLRTN circuit.
Possible Causes: 
  • RDLRTN circuit open
  • RDLRTN circuit short to voltage
  • Damaged reductant level sensor
Diagnostic Aids:  The presence of this DTC may indicate that the vehicle is operating in derate mode and may experience a loss of power. After repair, the vehicle may still display a system warning message. Drive the vehicle until the system warning message has cleared from the instrument cluster message center.
The reductant level sensor and reductant temperature sensor share a common ground. An open or short to voltage in this ground sets DTCs for both sensors.
