|What Does the P1049 Code Mean?

The Reductant Injector is a component of selective catalytic reduction system used to dose the reductant fluid to the exhaust gas and participate in the reduction reactions. The Engine Control Module (ECM) calculates the injection time of the reductant injector based on the measurement of the NOx sensors. To activate the injector the ECM supplies a PWM signal to the high control circuit and the low control circuit is always commanded ON. The Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be set when the Reductant Control Module detects a short to voltage in the high control circuit.
