Recently bought a 2017 trafic III with 132k miles on it which has developed a recurring 'check anti-polution system' and engine management light. I attempted resetting it with a generic OBD2 scanner which worked initially, but it comes back straight after startup once it has been started 3 times.

Have monitored cat temps and it is completing DPF regens as normal. However fault keeps coming back so keep clearing it every few days.

Decided to get a proper scan with a snap on zeus which pulled a few error codes with U059f - Invalid data recived from NOx sensor "B" pointing to faulty sensor. Cleared it with the snap-on, however it came back again. Replaced NOx sensor 2 with a genuine unit however, when cleared it returns as pending DTC, then current after 3 starts.

Sp far i have done in same order :
  • Cleaned pressure sensor pipe in engine bay as it was blocked (no symptoms however)
  • Replaced Nox sensor B with genuine part
  • Replaced the MAP sensor as this looked to be reading incorrect, however, new sensor exact same.
  • removed and cleaned adblue injector (wasn't too crusty)

I put a borescope down the adblue filler tank and it looked fairly empty but could be wrong. The adblue injector clicks which tells me it's cycling however, I don't know if the tank sensor is faulty as it has stayed around 80-84% since I have driven it over last 200 miles?

Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated, really struggling to work anything out.

Thanks,

Tom.

Update: U059f/DTCC59F code still there, however, I added a 1.5L bottle of adblue and level went up to 92% so seems as though all is well with the level sensor. Took it on a long drive around the m25 and monitored the cat temps which reached >600°c confirming it was successfully completing active regen.

Spent a few hours today removing the front sensor. Was heavily ceased, took a lot of persuasion, map gas, penetratinf fluid and brake cleaner to get it removed. Threads were really bad when removed. Tested voltage at frobt NOx plug: 12v on supply, 2.4v on can low and 2.7v on can high, low resistance on ground wire so all good at the plug.

Reluctant to spend more money on it, however, seems like it's gonna need front NOx sensor by looks of things. I wonder if the scanner is wrongly referring to the upstream NOx sensor as position 2, when in fact the fault is with the upstream sensor. Who knows, but £500 on sensors is never fun...

For my 2017 trafix, NOx sensor 2 (position B) was actually the upstream sensor which is just infront of the adblue injector. Sensor 1 was the downstream.

Doesn't make any logical sense other than what I could deduce which was - euro 5 vans had only one Nox sensor (downstream, would have been no 1 first) and then a second was added upstream to allow adblue module to calculate dosage of ablue required by comparing upstream and downstream values.

Hope this helps.
