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

Frequently asked questions about P23AD
What does P23AD mean?
NOx Sensor Circuit Range/Performance Bank 1 Sensor 3. The control module judged the NOx signal implausible: it stayed inside electrical limits but did not match the value expected for the current operating conditions.
Is P23AD generic or manufacturer-specific?
P23AD is a generic OBD-II code: it has the same meaning on every make and model that follows the SAE standard.
Can TuningBot remove P23AD at file level?
If the fault logic lives in the ECU calibration, yes: our DTC Removal file service disables the specific fault entry and, where the ECU needs it, corrects the checksum too. Not sure whether your case qualifies? Request a free assessment and our engineers will check your ECU file.
