DTC P218F (DCU) - REDUCTANT No Flow Detected

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 9 other vehicles, including the 2018 Ford Transit-350 HD, 2018 Ford Transit-350, 2018 Ford Transit-250, 2018 Ford Transit-150, and 2018 Ford F-550 Super Duty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
P218F (DCU) - REDUCTANT NO FLOW DETECTED

Description:  The reductant dosage control module monitors selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system performance by monitoring the rate of reductant flow and feedback from the nitrogen oxides bank 1, sensor 2 (NOx12). These values are compared to a calculated model. This DTC sets when the difference between the modeled and actual system performance exceeds a threshold and a restriction in the SCR system is suspect.
Possible Causes: 
  • Reductant pressure line restriction
  • Reductant filter restriction
  • Reductant injector restriction
Diagnostic Aids:  The presence of this DTC may indicate the vehicle is operating in derate mode and may experience a loss of power. After repair, the vehicle may still display a system warning message. Drive the vehicle, while carrying out the appropriate drive cycle procedure, until the system warning message has cleared from the instrument cluster message center. Refer to DRIVE CYCLES , for additional information.
