What Does the P20E8 Code Mean?

The pressure sensor information is used by Reductant Control Module; this module manages the reductant pressure system driving the PWM signal to the pump (corresponding to a speed setpoint for the reductant pressure pump) in order to build the pressure in the reductant pressure pipeline after the system start-up. The pressure signal is also used to control the reductant pressure in a closed-loop, to supply a stable value to the reductant valve during the dosing, and to empty the reductant pressure line in After-run. The reductant pressure is monitored for pressure control governor deviation. The reductant pressure sensor signal is compared with a threshold and a pressure control governor deviation fault is reported to the Engine Control Module (ECM) after a specified time when detected. The Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be set when the Reductant Control Module detects that the reductant pressure is less than a calibrated threshold for 20 s.
