NH3 Sensor Calibration Memory

The NH3 slip sensor stores its individual calibration coefficients in non-volatile memory (EEPROM/flash). The ECM cannot read valid calibration values — either checksum fails, the memory is empty after replacement, or communication with the sensor electronics is broken. Without the trim values the raw ammonia reading is unreliable.

Possible causes

  • New sensor installed but not coded/learned to the ECM high
  • Corrupted calibration memory after voltage drop medium
  • Module software outdated, reflash may resolve low

Inspection / repair

  • Difficulty: medium
  • DIY: shop recommended
  • Estimated cost: 80–600 €
  • Estimated time: 0.3–1.5 h
  • Component: nh3 sensor
  • Component: sensor eeprom

How to read OBD-II codes

The first letter names the vehicle system, the second digit distinguishes generic from manufacturer-specific, the remaining digits group fault area and number.

PPowertrain: engine, transmission, emissions
BBody: chassis trim, comfort, interior
CChassis: suspension, brakes, steering
UNetwork: CAN, control modules, communication
