P2041Reductant Injection Air Pressure Sensor Circuit Intermittent

P2041 means the engine computer has seen the reductant injection air pressure sensor signal drop out or jump erratically for a moment, rather than reading a steady, plausible pressure. The circuit is not dead or shorted outright; the fault is an intermittent glitch in the sensor's electrical signal, which the computer flags because it cannot trust the air pressure reading used for diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) injection.
