Order of inspection
P2080 Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor Circuit Range/Performance (Bank 1 Sensor 1) Medium
The P2080 code means the exhaust gas temperature (EGT) sensor on bank 1, sensor 1 is sending a reading that is electrically valid but does not match what the computer expects. The main effect is that the computer may cut engine power or skip diesel particulate filter regenerations. It is usually a sensor, connector or wiring problem, so test before you replace parts.
