NH3 Sensor Calibration Memory

Moderate severity

What it means

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.

Is it safe to drive?

Use caution

The vehicle is usually drivable for short distances, but the problem can worsen or affect emissions. Diagnose and repair as soon as practical.

Most likely causes

  • New sensor installed but not coded/learned to the ECM

    high

    One of the most commonly reported causes for this code — check this first.

  • Corrupted calibration memory after voltage drop

    medium

    A plausible cause — test and verify before replacing parts.

  • Module software outdated, reflash may resolve

    low

    Less common, but worth ruling out after the more likely causes.
