A technician may nd the schematics and connector end view in Service Information
do not match the pin location on the A38 reductant pump/sender assembly
connector (16 way connector). This will occur if the DEF tank has been replaced on a
2020 – early build 2022 (herein known as early build) and will typically result in DTCs
P20B9 and/or P20C1 setting.
There was a change to the DEF tank harness for service.
Condition
Cause
Correction:
Model years 2020 through early build 2022 were originally built with cavities 6, 12 and 13 unoccupied. After midyear 2022 (herein known as late build), the pump/sender assembly and the corresponding connector terminals
were moved. Terminal 10 was moved to cavity 12 and terminal 11 was moved to cavity 6. All tanks built after that
date, including tanks to service the 2020 – early build 2022 are con gured this way. If it is necessary to replace
the reductant tank in an early build vehicle, it will come with the correct harness already installed and installation
would proceed with no special instructions.
If it becomes necessary to perform diagnostics on an early build vehicle with the updated reductant tank installed,
you can use the 2022 late build schematics and connector end view or the tables below.
The early build harnesses are still available to service a damaged harness but only if it has the original reductant
tank.
