P24F3Reductant Tank Temperature/Fuel Temperature Correlation
After a long key-off soak the AdBlue/DEF tank temperature and the fuel tank temperature should read close to each other (both at ambient). The ECM detects an implausible spread, which usually means one of the two sensors drifts, is wired wrong, or has a heat source nearby that the plausibility model does not account for.
