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 debris or urea crystals. Replacing the DEF in the tank with known good quality DEF, replacing
filters and 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 (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.
Additional Resources
These repairs are the most likely fix for the identified fault, if this does not fix the issue, Tech Tool will need to be used
for more detailed diagnostics. If filing a warranty claim, please include the ASIST case number.

Las razones más comunes por las que no se puede generar presión son:
1. Cambio de la línea de suministro de DEF con el retorno de DEF al tanque o la línea de dosificación de
DEF (en productos nuevos o productos en los que se realizó un cambio de componente o una inspección
recientemente).

2. Bloqueo del suministro de DEF a la bomba (ventilación del tanque de DEF, filtro del tanque de DEF, rejilla
de entrada de la bomba de DEF) causado principalmente por escombros o cristales de urea. Reemplazar
el DEF en el tanque con DEF de buena calidad conocida, reemplazar filtros y pantallas debería ayudar a
solucionar este problema. Si el respiradero del tanque de DEF tiene su propio filtro (principalmente para
ambientes sucios), asegúrese de revisar el filtro y las líneas para detectar cualquier obstrucción.

3. Fuga grande en el sistema de dosificación de DEF (debería aparecer como un charco de DEF) o no hay
DEF en el tanque.
4. Si la temperatura del tanque de DEF permanece fría ( 80 ° C), entonces existe la posibilidad de que la válvula de calentamiento del tanque de DEF y
las líneas de calentamiento del tanque de DEF sean una posible causa de este problema. Busque que el
tanque de DEF y las líneas calentadas posiblemente estén congeladas como una causa potencial. Esto
podría deberse a que la válvula de calentamiento del refrigerante se atascó o se bloqueó.
Si no se encuentra nada y el camión no genera presión de DEF dentro del taller, utilice el diagnóstico específico
del código de falla DTC P20E8 para identificar la causa raíz de la falta de presión de DEF.Recursos adicionales
Es muy probable que estas reparaciones solucionen la falla identificada; si esto no soluciona el problema, se
requerirá el uso de Tech Tool para diagnósticos más detallados. Si presenta una reclamación de garantía, incluya
el número de caso ASIST.
