Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) Sensor Repair

What does a NOx sensor do?

A NOx (Nitrogen Oxide) sensor measures the amount of nitrogen oxide that is being released into the atmosphere through a car’s exhaust and therefore is vital in ensuring that a vehicle complies with emissions regulations. If there’s an issue with your NOx sensor, a light will usually come on in the dashboard to alert you and at this point, you should get in touch with the team at Autocentre.

As well as a light on the dash, you may notice some other signs that your NOx sensor is faulty such as a noticeable increase in AdBlue consumption, reduced fuel economy, and unstable idling.
