NOx Sensor Diagnostics

A NOx code does not mean the sensor is bad

Deep diagnostics for upstream and downstream NOx sensors — and how to prove the failure instead of throwing parts at it.

  1. 1.Upstream & Downstream NOx Sensors
  2. 2.Sensor Communication & Plausibility
  3. 3.Sensor Response & Heater Operation
  4. 4.Wiring & Connector Problems
  5. 5.Sensor Contamination & False Readings
  6. 6.Comparing Upstream/Downstream Behavior
  7. 7.SCR Efficiency Calculations Conceptually
  8. 8.Proving a NOx Sensor Failure
