    I got a CEL a couple weeks back. NOX sensor (pic below)

    I was on the road so I reset it a few times with the OTR reset tool. It would stay off for a day or so then come back on. Same code.

    This weekend I replaced the inlet NOX sensor and had DPF and DOC cleaned as well. I did not go to a Volvo dealer for this.

    After replacement my CEL is still on but no longer shows any faults. My reset tool will no longer turn the CEL off. I checked all modules, no active faults anywhere.

    Will it eventually go off or does it have a hard code locked up in it somewhere that I can’t see without dealer software?

    Bellow is the original DTC. to be clear, it is now cleared but CEL is still on.

    Normally it will reset on its own if no active faults

    Ding ding ding! You are correct, sir, thanks! About halfway through my 400 mile run today it turned itself off. I guess now I know.

    Yes it will cause a derate. Consider yourself fortunate that your truck showed an issue that wants to be addressed before it gets worse. Take care of it. Now.
