Direct Ozone Reduction Catalyst Deterioration Sensor Circuit Low
The DOR deterioration sensor signal voltage reads below the lower limit — short to ground or internal short.
Affected components
- Dor deterioration sensor
- Sensor wiring
Common causes
- High likelihood: Signal wire shorted to ground
- Low likelihood: Connector pins corroded - high contact resistance
- Low likelihood: Harness chafing through insulation
Possible symptoms
- Check engine light on
- Failed emissions inspection
- Possibly slightly increased fuel consumption
- Sulfur (rotten egg) smell from exhaust under load
