Q: What does code P2D20 mean?

Reductant System Flow – Blocked. P2D20 indicates that the engine control module has detected a blocked flow condition within the diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) reductant system, meaning the fluid cannot move as expected through the lines, injector, or metering components. The computer typically compares commanded reductant delivery with feedback from pressure or flow sensors and sets this code when the measured flow falls below the expected threshold for a calibrated time.
