P06F1 - Reductant Control Module Internal Temperature Sensor 'S'ensor Range/Performance
System
Powertrain (Engine & Gearbox)
Technical Description
The control module has detected a fault in the Reductant Control Module Internal Temperature Sensor 'S'ensor Range/Performance (P06F1). The reported signal is electrically valid but disagrees with other operating parameters (RPM, load, or other sensors).
Multimeter Test Points & Nominal Values
| Test Point / Component | Measurement | Nominal Target Range | Test Condition |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reductant Control Module Internal Temperature Sensor 'S'ensor Range/Performance – Coil Resistance | Resistance (Ω) | 3 - 30 Ω (typical) | Connector disconnected at 20°C |
| Reductant Control Module Internal Temperature Sensor 'S'ensor Range/Performance – Duty Cycle | PWM (%) | 5 - 95 % (modulates with target) | Engine running, actuator in control |
| Reductant Control Module Internal Temperature Sensor 'S'ensor Range/Performance – Supply Voltage | Voltage (V) | 11.8 - 14.4 V | Ignition ON at connector |

Oscilloscope Waveform Analysis
2 ms/div, 20 V/divPossible Causes
Reductant Control Module Internal Temperature Sensor 'S'ensor Range/Performance is electrically operational but performing outside calibrated tolerance
Chafed or pinched wiring harness along the signal path to Reductant Control Module Internal Temperature Sensor 'S'ensor Range/Performance
Internal mechanical wear or carbon deposits inside Reductant Control Module Internal Temperature Sensor 'S'ensor Range/Performance
Defective internal output driver or reference circuit in the control module for Reductant Control Module Internal Temperature Sensor 'S'ensor Range/Performance
Symptoms
Recommended Solution
Log component live data across varying load points and verify plausibility against engine target model.
Verify loaded supply voltage and harness terminal pins at Reductant Control Module Internal Temperature Sensor 'S'ensor Range/Performance.
Check circuit continuity and ground-side voltage drop (< 0.05 V) for Reductant Control Module Internal Temperature Sensor 'S'ensor Range/Performance.
Check supply and the low-side driver at the ECM connector. Replace the actuator or repair the circuit based on the readings.
Mechanic's Tip
Use the scan-tool output test with the scope on the control side at the same time. If duty changes but the actuator does not move, the valve is stuck — not the electrical fault you were chasing.
