Frequently asked questions about U05A2

What does U05A2 mean?

NOx Sensor B Received Invalid Data From ECM/PCM. The control module registered the fault condition described as "NOx Sensor B Received Invalid Data From ECM/PCM".

Is U05A2 generic or manufacturer-specific?

U05A2 is a generic OBD-II code: it has the same meaning on every make and model that follows the SAE standard.

Can TuningBot remove U05A2 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 U05A2 is removable in your case.
