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

Frequently asked questions about U02A1

What does U02A1 mean?

Lost Communication With NOx Sensor C. The control module stopped receiving expected network messages from the NOx Sensor C node on the vehicle communication bus.

Is U02A1 generic or manufacturer-specific?

U02A1 is a generic OBD-II code: it has the same meaning on every make and model that follows the SAE standard.

Can TuningBot remove U02A1 at file level?

Not guaranteed. Powertrain (P) codes can be reliably disabled in the ECU calibration, but body, chassis and network codes depend on the specific control unit and how the fault is implemented - some can be handled, some cannot. Ask for a quote and our engineers will check your file and tell you, free of charge, whether U02A1 is removable in your case.
