U049E

Invalid Data Received From Direct Ozone Reduction Catalyst Temperature Sensor

Moderate severity

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.

Most likely causes

  • Module internal fault or sensor input drift

    high

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

  • Software version mismatch after replacement

    medium

    A plausible cause — test and verify before replacing parts.

  • Gateway module routing CAN messages incorrectly

    low

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