Also, the code (3 codes) are all referring to the name nox sensor.

they are:

46B4: NOX Sensor before denox cat plausability nox.
4BB3: Nox sensor before denox cat- plausibility nox
4b6a: Nox sensor before denox cat - Plausibility

to me, I'm reading it as the nox sensor before the cat has died.

Lemoned that car in 2011.

'Code' does not equal 'part'. These cars use the values from the sensor and how they respond after the DDE adjusts other control parameters to trap errors. It may be the sensor is bad, but far more likely it just isnt responding the way engineering said it should (and the DDE expects). You can have a clogged SCR orifice, bad metering value, bad SCR cat, etc, etc. You need to run test plans.


Good luck. This stuff is a PITA.

(Ive just posted my crap to give you a sense of a bad story- lets hope yours is more straightforward.)
