A NOx sensor should be replaced if a check engine light indicates a fault, when diagnostic trouble codes related to emissions performance appear, or when signs of failure occur. Common symptoms include poor fuel efficiency, excessive DEF consumption, loss of power, or the SCR system failing to maintain compliance with emission testing.

With the introduction of Euro 6 and EPA 10/13/17 emission standards, accurate measurement of nitrogen oxides became essential for meeting regulatory limits. Bosch NOx sensors provide continuous feedback for Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems, ensuring correct DEF dosing, reducing harmful NOx emissions, and supporting onboard diagnostics. Without NOx sensors, vehicles can not reliably comply with modern emission regulations.

R. Sí, los sensores solo se deben emplear en los usos para los que fueron diseñados, ya que no son universales. Para colocarlos, siga las recomendaciones del fabricante del equipo original.
