Direct Ozone Reduction Catalyst Temperature Sensor Circuit Low
Direct Ozone Reduction (DOR) catalysts are coated radiator surfaces or dedicated catalysts that decompose tropospheric ozone passing over the radiator — used for low-emissions vehicles. The temperature sensor monitoring the DOR brick reads stuck low — short to ground or sensor short.
