P2062 — Reductant/Regeneration Supply Control Circuit/Open
P2062 — Reductant/Regeneration Supply Control Circuit/Open. A fault in the sensor and actuator circuits. The car is usually drivable while you plan the repair. Typical causes: poor ground connection, blown fuse feeding the circuit, open or shorted wiring in the circuit.
powertrain (engine/transmission)
Is it safe to drive?
Short-term driving is OK In most cases the car remains drivable, possibly with reduced performance or a disabled auxiliary system. If symptoms include stalling, no-start or brake/steering warnings, treat it as urgent.
How to diagnose with an OBD scanner
- Read the code and freeze frame Connect an OBD2 scanner, confirm P2062 is stored, and save the freeze frame data — it shows engine conditions when the fault was detected.
- Check for companion codes and TSBs Related codes often reveal the real root cause. Also check manufacturer technical service bulletins (TSB) for your make and model — many P0xxx issues have factory fixes or software updates. Search by VIN on the manufacturer site or nhtsa.gov.
- Inspect wiring and connectors Visually inspect the wiring harness and connectors related to the reductant/regeneration supply control circuit/open for damage, corrosion, chafing or poor contact.
- Subsystem check Measure reference voltage, ground and signal continuity at the component connector.
- Subsystem check Wiggle-test the harness while watching the signal in live data — dropouts reveal broken wires.
- Verify the repair Clear the code, complete a full drive cycle including the conditions from the freeze frame, and confirm P2062 does not return.
Approximate repair cost
Repair cost depends on which component actually failed. Typical scenarios for P2062 (parts and labor, USD, independent shop rates): Control module repair: $300–$1,000; Replace the faulty sensor or actuator: $150–$500; Repair wiring or connectors: $80–$250. Overall, fixing P2062 usually costs between $80 and $1,000. An accurate diagnosis before buying parts saves money — the most expensive scenario is rarely the first one to check.
Common questions
How do I diagnose P2062 myself?
Start with a scan: confirm P2062, save the freeze frame and note any companion codes. Then inspect the wiring and connectors related to the sensor and actuator circuits, and verify the suspect component against live data before buying parts.
What is the most common cause of P2062?
The most common causes are: poor ground connection, blown fuse feeding the circuit, open or shorted wiring in the circuit.
What are the symptoms of P2062?
Drivers most often notice: increased fuel consumption in some cases, Check Engine Light on, the affected system operates intermittently or not at all, possible limp mode depending on the affected component.
What does OBD2 code P2062 mean?

What does P2062 mean?
Behind P2062 is a specific failure in the sensor and actuator circuits: reductant/regeneration supply control circuit/open. The onboard computer stores it in the powertrain (engine/transmission) group after verifying the fault over repeated checks.
The module monitors this system continuously while driving. When readings fall outside the expected range for a defined number of drive cycles, it stores P2062 and switches on the warning light. Freeze frame data saved with the code shows the exact conditions — rpm, load, temperature, speed — at the moment the fault was detected, which is the best starting point for diagnosis.
Common symptoms of P2062
- increased fuel consumption in some cases
- Check Engine Light on
- the affected system operates intermittently or not at all
- possible limp mode depending on the affected component
What causes P2062?
- corroded, loose or damaged connector
- control module driver fault
- poor ground connection
- faulty sensor or actuator of the affected circuit
- blown fuse feeding the circuit
- open or shorted wiring in the circuit
