- Nox sensor b2
- Nox sensor heater
Common causes
- High likelihood: Connector intermittent under temperature
- Medium likelihood: Sensor heater intermittent when hot
- Low likelihood: Harness routed against vibrating component
Possible symptoms
- Check engine light or NOx warning on
- AdBlue/DEF level or quality warning
