Service engine soon light

I have a 2011 f250 with the 6.7l diesel. Overall it's been fabulous. Descent mileage, and never ending power.
The service engine soon light came on the other day. I have checked the fuel and dropped some additive in the tank. Have also checked the air filter which is good. There is a hesitation when giving it throttle. Then it shoots like a rocket.
Can anyone tell me what the scoop is

You're going to have to plug in a scan tool to find the codes. Auto Zone, Advance Auto, Pep Boys or similar will read the codes for free.
Let us know what you find out.

Got a P20BA heater A control circuit code. Auto Zone's print out said change the def pump but if it's a heater circuit then shouldn't I change heater A?

You can get the heater off of Amazon and change it.

Quick question, with this def heater issue, is it actually spraying when it says it is? And is it still safe to drive it? I got the parts coming but it's going to be a couple of weeks before I have time off from work to do it. I need it to get to work but will find a way if it's going to do damage.
