P05EB

Cold Start SCR NOx Catalyst Inlet Temperature Too Low

Moderate severity

What it means

Same as P22FF but specifically during the cold-start window - the SCR catalyst inlet temperature does not reach the threshold needed for NOx reduction in the cold-start phase, so reductant injection cannot be enabled.
