2017 Ram 2500 Cummins Check Engine Code P020E

[DepotBo]

Had the CEL come on the other day and stopped by the parts store for a reading. Says P020E, Cylinder 5 Injection Timing.

Anyone come across one of these before or have any insight?

Thanks,
Bo

Symptoms of a P020E engine code may include:

1. Engine misfire, sag, or stumble

2. General lack of engine performance

3. Distinctive odor of diesel fuel

4. Reduced fuel efficiency

Causes of a P020E engine code may include:

1. Defective fuel injection solenoid

2. Open or shorted wiring and/or connectors in fuel injector control circuit

3. Bad fuel injector

4. Engine timing component failure

5. Crankshaft or camshaft position sensor (or circuit) failure

I'd start with a simple check of the injector wiring to make sure it's connected properly and there are no shorts in the circuit. I'd do the same check on the sensor harness.

From there I personally would turn it over to a qualified tech for fuel pressure checks, injector inspection and a solenoid test.

By the way...how long has it been since you changed your fuel filters?

Definitely LONG overdue for fuel filter change. Be doing that tomorrow. Thanks

Thank you for your service I have the 5.7 hemi, which I like, but used our work truck a 3500 2014 with the 6.7 Cummins to pull 26’ box truck that had backed off our concrete and was stuck wheels buried in the mud put in 4-lo and pulled out like it was a car! The torque & power is impressive
