P05EE Reductant Pump Supply Voltage Circuit/Open

The electric supply pump in the diesel exhaust fluid (DEF, AdBlue) tank module builds the dosing pressure for the SCR catalyst. Its supply voltage is monitored separately from the pump control circuit (P208A ff); CARB requires SCR components and their outputs to be checked for circuit faults and function. P05EE means the supply circuit is open: when the supply is switched on, no voltage or current reaches the pump branch. Ford's comparable check flags a pump controller voltage below 6 V. Chrysler (FCA) lists this code among those that trigger the DEF inducement: a 'Service DEF System' warning, a countdown after 50 miles and no restart after 150 miles (P241D). Without supply the pump cannot build pressure, dosing stops and NOx rises; pressure or SCR efficiency codes may follow.

Likely causes

Connector at the pump or tank module corroded or loose
Open wire in the harness to the tank
Fuse or relay of the pump supply faulty
Pump or tank module open internally

Symptoms

  • Check engine light on
  • DEF/AdBlue warning, possibly countdown to no-restart
  • Follow-up codes for low DEF pressure or SCR efficiency
