Type P20EE in the forum's search box......and you'll find a few threads regarding that exact topic. :thumbsup:

 

P20EE is SCR NOx catalyst efficiency below threshold bank 1.

Often they replace the SCR catalyst device as a fix.

 

...or bad DEF. LOL.

I had this code thrown twice. First time I cleared it thinking it was DEF related since I had just filled up. When it came back I took it to the dealer and they are waiting for parts to replace my cat.

 

Does anyone know why the CAT is bad? I am having mine replaced at 41000 and I don't want to have to do it on my own dime at 80000. What is specifically going bad?

They are replacing the cat and deleting the ammonia sensor and reprogramming it. So I think it should be resolved hopefully!! So I've read on here.

 

yep just had it done myself. it fixes the problem.

 

I had the code also with just over 20k miles on it. The dealership replaced the cat also.

 

Is there any issue with driving the truck with the code? I was getting check engine light on and off. Now it is on full time and I had it read. I am in FL and need to go to Chicago next week so I don't have time to bring it to a dealer yet.

 

I had mine P20EE come on a week or so ago and did not notice any issues continuing to drive it. I read it with my code reader, but did not erase it. I couldn't get into the dealer right away, so I went in and erased it because it was bugging me. So... when I did get into the dealer a few days ago to get all my Recalls done, I told them about it and showed them pictures of the CEL and Code readout (on my Reader). But they would not address it, change anything, etc., because I did not bring it in with the CEL on showing that Code. So next time, I'll just leave it on and come in. Or perhaps I'll just get lucky and it was a fluke and it won't come back on. Not a big deal one way or the other, since emissions are covered for quite some time still.

 

I have read up on the fix and I may or may not be covered. I am at 68K miles so if not covered I may be forced to void my warranty. For now I think I should be OK to drive it.

 

You should be fine. Service Manager told me the Emission components affected by the P20EE are covered by 8yr/80k warranty.

 

That's some good news. Will have to bring truck to a dealer. Every truck I have ever taken to the dealer was damaged in some way. This time I will use my phone to take pix with a geo stamp of every part of exterior right in their parking lot so I don't get "that was here when you brought the truck in". Sad.

 

When I started using the cheap DEF from wal mart I got the code every time I filled the tank up but I didn't take it to dealer I just went to EFI live haha she runs better now

I had the same issue! CEL light came on went to dealership told me not to drive the truck untill it was fixed! So I left it there, they replaced SCR and removed the Ammonia sensor! Bonus was they received a new shipment of brackets for the Front Track Bar Frame Brackets so they installed that as well!

Glad they fixed my truck but getting really annoyed with the recalls and CEL's!

 

Stopped back at the dealership today. Tech plugged in as I explained all my previous issues & how I'd deleted the codes myself. He was pretty sympathetic. Ran a test that forced a partial regen. Truck failed the test. They'll be replacing the SCR under warranty next Thursday. No problems at all. Tech & service manager were both very helpful and seemed extremely willing to make everything right. I did not buy my truck from this dealer, but I'll surely pay them a visit when I'm in the market again.

 

Well..... so much for hoping it wouldn't come back (P20EE). Made it a whole 4 days and 200 miles or so before it came on again. But this time, I'm leaving the CEL on so they can actually see & read it themselves. Pretty darn annoying though that they would not take the pictures/date stamped as proof earlier in the week. Was on my way to the Keys for a long weekend. Turned around simply because I'm not willing to risk it causing me to get stuck somewhere down there (although I could think of worst places to be stuck at:wink2. Hopefully they'll replace the culprits this time.

 

So you've also been clearing the code yourself? Maybe they'll run this forced partial regen test like they did mine. Fail it & you get a new SCR and one less ammonia sensor lol. Good luck!

 

Back on the road again. New Cat, removed sensor, etc... All good! Honestly, between the recalls, TSB's, and now this, I'm happy overall with how both the Dealer and FCA has handled all this. Thumbs up to them!:thumbsup:

 

New SCR one less sensor, all warrantied. Didn't get R46 complete. Apparently the tech broke his drill last week, so they couldn't do it then. Today the tool guy didn't show up until 300 and I needed the truck at 530. Back to the dealer next week. Pretty pleased with the service manager & tech that's dealt with the truck. Solid people, nice surprise.

 

Around a 450 mile round trip this weekend. No codes since the replacement. Good feeling getting home last night with no extra lights on the dash.

 

I got the code P20EE also, Has anyone had the stealership try to not fix it under warranty? I am a little worried that they are going to say its my fault for putting def from the truck stops. My truck is completely stock except for rear airbags. 2015 3500 Dually tradesman. I hot shot for a living with it.

 

If it's the SCR that's covered 8yrs/80K miles. If they say it's due to bad DEF make them prove it. Just had my SCR replaced and also one less ammonia sensor all under warranty. Odessa? I'm originally from Monahans. Small world. Good luck!

 

I just got this code again 2 days ago. I dropped off the truck and picked it up yesterday. All fixed. New SCR installed.

R.K.

 

Now I have a message that says "perform service". No other info. What good is the evic t can't give codes, any info when check engine light is on, and a super generic message like perform service?

I am very lucky at least that the 5.9's in my boat have zero electronics. I will keep them going forever.

If you're near 67,500 miles....it's the CCV filter replacement.

I just got back from a little 65 mile trip and got a P20EE code 5 miles from the house. I took a picture and cleared the code before reading this thread and seeing that the dealers aren't taking pictures as proof. Hopefully it never comes on again, but thats just wishful thinking.

 

just got the call from the stealership, The scr and the cat are covered under the warranty but there is a $1900 charge to drop the def tank and clean it out.

 

I'd offer 400 bucks to drop and clean it. 1900 is robbery.

 

well, after a month of waiting on the stealership, and waiting on the service associate to finally answer my numerous phone calls and emails, They have told me that if I pass on the $1900 charge for dropping the DEF tank to clean it and clean the lines out, That they will not cover the injector or the catalytic converter so I am being forced to either pay the $1900 or delete everything and ruin my warranty and extended warranty. I really don't understand how they can make me pay for labor but not parts. I have had a def truck for about 5 years now and have never had a problem in the 3 trucks until now. AND now I finally see why everyone I know despises the damn things. Moral of the lesson is to take your vehicle to the stealership to fill with def so when they say it was faulty def fluid you can say it was there fault and they can give you another excuse why not to take care of their customers.

 

Get a sample of you DEF and have it analyzed. If it comes back good call Ram directly to get resolved

 

I did, when Dodge initially said they would not cover it. They told me what they usually do in these instances is to call my insurance company. I did, they sent out a 3rd party lab company to analyze it, and they did. It came back that there was nothing wrong with the def fluid so they denied my claim. Dodge pretty much said oh well, we don't cover that.

 

And I called the mopar customer care hotline and opened up a claim with them. And that was a waste of time also. It is All American Dodge of Odessa, by the way.

 

The sole reason I have deleted the last 4 trucks as soon as I got home after driving them off the lot. People don't have time for their run around crap.!!! At least I don't!
