Internal Content
Although the DTC suggests the DEF tank heating system is at fault,
troubleshoot this fault code as not able to build DEF pressure
failure DTC ( P20E8 ). The most common reasons for not being able to
build pressure are:
1. Switching the DEF supply line with the DEF return to tank or DEF
dosing line ( on new products or products where a component change or
inspection was done recently ).
2. Blockage of the DEF supply to the pump ( DEF tank vent, DEF tank
filter, DEF pump inlet screen ) mostly caused by debri or urea crystals.
Replacing the DEF in the tank with known good quality DEF, replacing
filters an screens should help fix this issue. If the DEF tank vent has its
own filter ( mainly for dirty environment ), make sure to check the filter
and lines for any blockage.
3. Large leak in the DEF dosing system ( should show up as a puddle of
DEF ) or no DEF in the tank.
4. If the DEF tank temperature stays cold ( <10C ) even after the engine
is warm ( >80C ), then potential is there that the DEF tank heating valve,
DEF tank heating lines as a possible cause for this issue. Look for the
DEF tank and heated lines to be possibly frozen as a potential cause.
This could be caused by the coolant heating valve stuck closed or
blocked.
If nothing is found and the truck will not build DEF pressure inside the
workshop then use DTC P20E8 fault code specific diagnosis to identify
the root cause for not building DEF pressure.
