What it means
A receiving module detected implausible data from the direct ozone reduction (DOR) catalyst temperature sensor. Temperature values fail plausibility checks against engine load and ambient and are rejected.
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.
