I would be more than happy to supply one of these sensors if someone wants to give it a try.
That is great news to have someone who is familiar with these sensors.

Here's a few more info I was able to dig out.

Code 0046F9 is described as "Reducing-agent active-tank temperature sensor, signal"

The description is: "Sensor monitoring, active tank temperature sensor. The fault is set if the raw sensor signal (voltage) drops below the minimum limit value of 165 mV."
