It can affect certain <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/chevrolet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Chevy\">Chevy<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/dodge\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Dodge\">Dodge<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/ford\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Ford\">Ford<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/gmc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"GMC\">GMC<\/a> trucks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A vehicle&rsquo;s powertrain control module (PCM) can store a P20E8 code if the electric signal from the diesel intake air flow position sensor (DIAFPS) doesn&rsquo;t match normal engine operating conditions in the PCM&rsquo;s memory. The DIAFPS converts the incoming airflow volume into a signal for the PCM to determine the amount of clean air entering the diesel engine versus the amount of exhaust entering the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system. If the PCM doesn&rsquo;t detect a change in airflow, the DIAFPS or EGR system might be malfunctioning. The PCM also checks whether the voltage signal from the DIAFPS is below a set level (normally under 0.3 volts) and sets the code appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/car-engine-components-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"car engine components\" class=\"wp-image-71833\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/car-engine-components-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/car-engine-components-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/car-engine-components-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/car-engine-components-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/car-engine-components-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/car-engine-components.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption>The PCM can store a P20E8 code if the electric signal from the diesel intake air flow position sensor (DIAFPS) doesn&rsquo;t match normal engine operating conditions in the PCM&rsquo;s memory.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Note:<\/strong> The definition of code P20E8 might be different depending on the vehicle manufacturer.
