If you are suspicious about NOx sensor of Mercedes sprinter, or wondering whether your sprinter van
requires a NOx sensor replacement, Xenons4u is here to help and support you recognize, diagnose and handle the issue. Let’s learn a little more about what NOx sensor of Mercedes does for your car and how to get the idea that it’s time to replace it.

The modern automobile industry and automobiles itself are fully chock of remarkable amenities their outmoded counter parts lack. Bluetooth audio, GPS navigation and the upgraded security mechanisms helps to provide luxury, safety and convenience.  However, the developed technology also involves awareness about vehicle maintenance, as these modern trends in automobiles are also linked to sensors that wear down and fail and flop over time.

Let’s have a Brief Overview to NOx Sensors

These NOx sensors can be found and seen in diesel engines, commonly. Many of Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans contain diesel engines and these engines are conventionally more fuel-proficient and efficient than typical gasoline engines. NOx sensor Mercedes sprinter helps and allow engines for better gas mileage when transferring materials over long distances and make sure you comply with environmetal laws as well.

NOx Sensor Mercedes Sprinter Issues and Failure Errors:

If your Mercedes Benz Sprinter van is being rough and you are doubtful that NOx sensor is to blame, it is suggested to look for a professional Mercedes mechanic who can run a diagnostic with Xentry tool and check for diagnostic trouble codes in short DTC by the vehicle’s on-board computer to identify the issue for sure and eliminate engine management light (EML).

One of the most common possible causes of a failed NOx sensor in a Sprinter van is the appearance of a “start countdown” timer and the other one can be seen when you are done withon-board computer scan and your car is still showing the error code P229F62 or P2202. Thus, it simply means that's NOX sensor has failed. Additionally if you notice your dashboard lights up with an “XXX starts remaining” notification, contact your straightaway so as not to be stuck during a vital trip.

When AdBlue system notices malfunction in the system it migh show the following warning messages:

  • AdBlue: system fault. No restart in x km mi! See Owner's manual
  • Eng. Start not possible in x km mi
