Code result

P2570

Direct Ozone Reduction Catalyst Temperature Sensor Circuit High

Moderate severity

What it means

The DOR catalyst temperature sensor reads stuck high — short to reference voltage or open signal return. Without a valid temperature the ECM cannot enable the DOR efficiency monitor.

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

  • Signal wire shorted to reference voltage

    high

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

  • Open signal return

    medium

    A plausible cause — test and verify before replacing parts.

  • Connector pins corroded - high contact resistance

    low

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