What P20DE means

P20DE
Exhaust Aftertreatment Fuel Pressure Sensor Circuit Range/Performance Generic · fuel Data confidence 85%

The control module judged the Exhaust Aftertreatment Fuel Pressure signal implausible: it stayed inside electrical limits but did not match the value expected for the current operating conditions.

Symptoms

  • Possible hard starting or long cranking
  • Possible reduced power or cutting out
  • MIL illuminated

Possible causes

  • Wiring
  • exhaust after treatment fuel pressure sensor
  • ECM

Recommended checks

  • Read specified vs actual rail pressure at cranking, idle and load
  • Check low-pressure supply (pressure/volume) first
  • Check control valve/regulator operation
  • Measure injector return flow where applicable
  • Inspect wiring and connectors of pressure components
