What P22A6 means

P22A6
NOx Sensor Heater Sense Circuit Bank 1 Sensor 2 Generic · emissions Data confidence 65%

The control module detected a fault associated with the NOx Sensor Heater Sense Circuit Bank 1 Sensor 2 circuit or function; the stored code identifies the affected component rather than a single failure mode.

Symptoms

  • MIL or SCR/AdBlue warning illuminated
  • Possible start-count-down or torque limitation on some applications

Possible causes

  • Reductant quality or level fault
  • Dosing valve or supply module fault
  • NOx sensor fault
  • Frozen or crystallized reductant lines
  • Wiring or connector fault

Recommended checks

  • Read NOx sensor values and dosing system status
  • Check reductant level and quality data
  • Inspect dosing valve, lines and heater operation
  • Check wiring and connectors of the SCR components
  • Check for OEM technical bulletins and software updates
