NOx Sensor Heater Sense Circuit Range/Performance Bank 1 Sensor 1

The heater sense feedback of NOx sensor 1 on bank 1 reports values that do not match expected operation. The sensor warm-up cycle does not behave as the diagnostic expects.

Affected components

  • Nox sensor
  • Nox heater circuit

Common causes

  • High likelihood: NOx sensor aging
  • Medium likelihood: High resistance in heater circuit
  • Low likelihood: Sensor element aged beyond calibration window

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)

Diagnostic notes

  • The malfunction indicator lamp may illuminate
  • This code can affect emissions
  • A drive cycle may be required after repair
  • Reduced-power or limp mode may occur
