NOx Sensor Circuit Low (Bank 2)

NOx Sensor Circuit Low (Bank 2): the signal voltage is below the expected range. Often a short to ground or high resistance in the wiring.

Affected components

  • Nox sensor

Common causes

  • High likelihood: Short to ground
  • Low likelihood: Connector pins corroded - high contact resistance
  • Low likelihood: Harness chafing through insulation

Possible symptoms

  • Check engine light or NOx warning on
  • AdBlue/DEF level or quality warning
  • Possible no-start countdown after ignore period
  • Failed emissions inspection (NOx)
