Pro Tip...you should have pre-spun the sensor in the opposite direction, the same number of turns it takes to tighten the sensor. By doing so, the sensor wiring will not end up all twisted up.
Or just connect once you've turned it in ?
We had this same problem on a 2016 Sprinter when the AdBlue warning and engine management light came on each trip after about 70 miles, and continued to limp mode. We called out Mercedes breakdown 4 times and took the van to our Mercedes main dealer where we spent several hundred pounds on their suggested cures. In spite of that, the problem continued. Having watched your video, we carried out your suggested cleaning of the Nox sensors which has completely cured the problem. Thank you for sharing this video and solving the problem with our van, at minimal expense.

How long did it work after you cleaned it?
I used your procedure to clean Nox sensor on my low mileage Mercedes Vito crew van. Only hitch for me was getting the sensor out of the exhaust, I had one of the sensor extraction sockets but it was not a tight 22mm fit and turned on the sensor bolt, I was afraid of rounding the bolt. Eventually applied a little heat to the exhaust and it turned OK using an open 22mm spanner. The rest of the job went exactly as shown in the video. I found that the fault codes did not reset until I had taken the van for a run - about ten minutes - then they all reset and fault light now gone from the dash, also MPG has returned (increased) back to pre fault performance. Thanks for the video, simple to follow and saved me a lot of money had I taken to the dealer.

I took me 20 miles, 1hr 20 or so of driving (lot of congestion here) or about 8 miles of steady driving with the sensor warmed up for the 'check anti-pollution system' error message to go away. (That's after replacing sensor, not just cleaning it).
Great video! The reason for the increased fuel usage with a faulty NOx sensor is that the car will go into a fixed mode trying to reduse the NOx emissions. NOx is created by pressure and heat, running richer will cool of the engine and reduce NOx and that is what the car will do to mange legislation. A NOx sensor allowes the engine to run leaner.

This fixed the code on my 2017 6.7 powerstroke. The only thing I did different is mixed in a little gas to the injector cleaner as the two are meant to work together so I thought why not. Also I let it soak 48 hours. Thanks for the help!
What code were you getting? I’m getting P2209 and wondering if this might do the trick.
I was getting P2201
Great video. Used your knowledge to clean my very dirty NOx and O2 sensors coming off the exhaust manifold, and touched up the NOx sensor post-cat under the car - 2009 Audi Q7 TDI, 110k miles. The only thing I did different was use plastic baggies and twist ties around the sensors to hold the Injector Cleaner in place. I used a Kobra OBD Diagnostic Interface (bluetooth) to clear the codes and check engine light. Thanks, again.

how long did your repair last? Thinking about doing the same thing on a 15 q7 tdi that has ~125K miles on it... p229f code
Did you end up doing it? I got the same code on the 2014 tdi im looking at, curious as to how well it worked@@peterchang7646
After P22A1NOx Sensor 2 Circuit High Voltage Bank 2 code appeared, I completed work as described in video with downstream sensor.
Was happy when code light went off for several days, then new code appeared, P2201 NOx Sensor Circuit Range/Performance Bank 1.
How could this be related? And now what? Video very well done for this novice DIYer.
Good Day Pbean,
Thanks for the acknowledgement for the video. You will want to search what the code P2201 refers to. It looks like you may have 2 NOx sensors but I do not know your particular vehicle. See if you have 2 NOx sensors and also call your local service department to see what code P2201 refers to and where that sensor is located. Good Luck
thanks for the video as it costed me £ 2214 to get my problem fixed at biringham solihull dealership

Thank you for your video, the idea of just cleaning a carbon "infested" sensor for the 1/100's cost vs having the dealer replacing it really appealed to me. I own a 2014 GLK 250 with 50k on it. As the story goes the CEL light came on, scanned and found NOx sensor fault. I started removing it using an 18" bar and suddenly "successfully" snapped the removal tool into two pieces. What now - I was thinking. Well I resorted to my 14" pipe wrench which did the trick, no problem. I took both sensors out, soaked them for 24 hours, flushed and reinstalled them. I then turned the engine on, ran it but the CEL only would go out after erasing the fault code. So far so good after a week and 100 miles.
I'm now a happy subscriber.

Should have twisted the NOX sensor counterclockwise before screwing in so you don't have the stress on the harness

A LOVELY NOX SENSOR CLEANING CLASS FROM THAT MR UNCLE
THANKS FOR EDUCATING GERMAN UNITS DRIVERS .
I checked the diagram of the GLK exhaust system and what you removed and cleaned was the Soot Particulate Sensor. The NOX sensor is located on the other side of this pipe.
Yes I actually did both sensors. Thanks

Hello Michael. Where can I find the exhaust diagram for a 2014 e250 bluetec? I need to clean or replace the soot sensor.
@@andrewb8961 You can buy the service manual from emanual online for a reasonable price like I did.
I believe you can just go to Mercedes website and search for their parts. It included diagram and price for each parts
That was pretty good Handy man's GLK fix. I had P229F62 code on my 2015 GLK250 and dealer replaced the NOx sensor which fixed. I had CPO warranty and it covered. Next time if get same problem after the Warranty expired, will try that!

@@luckychris1997hi I sold the truck before I could try.
@@edgarviera8426hi. Sorry. I sold the truck before I could try this.
I like the video, well done. But you completely twisted the sensor cable. My clever advise: Before screwing in the sensor rotate the sensor with cable counter clockwise, maybe 3 or 4 revolutions... and it will be perfect! 😁🖖

Hi everyone, their has been a re-call for all ML250 ECU SOFTWARE. Im in melbourne australia and we had limited kms remaining, dashboard also said ADBLUE and NOX sensor. The car ECU also locks out anyone from making any changes so both NOX sensors will need replacing for free to be able to do software update.We almost spend several thousand dollars at private mechanic, lucky we rang mercedes. All the best
@fezg123
Thanks for the info.
I'm having the same problem with my ml500.
But I don't know if the recall cover ml500.
Do you have a link or a place for me to check this information.
Please and thank you.
Thank you for the video, was very helpful. I dont know if I cant find the sensor in my sprinter van exhaust, but as I can find it I want to try what you've done. Thanks
I think one of those, the most rearward, is the soot sensor. The other is Bank 1 sensor 2. Bank 1 sensor 1 should be upstream. Also, the Mercedes diesel exhaust sensor are VERY fuel sensitive. If you use Top Tier brands of diesel, like Shell, Mobil, and Sunoco, you will have fewer problems. If you use cheap diesel from small stations, the fuel can be dirty with paraffins and other contaminants. These engines require the absolutely most clean full synthetic oils because if any soot escapes from lesser quality oils beyond the rings into the exhaust, it will foul the sensors. Even regular Mobil 1 is too dirty. If you know that even traces of Mobil 1 in the exhaust is too dirty and will foul the exhaust components, just think what dirty fuel will do from Bubba’s Truck Stop. Also, soak those sensors with PB Blaster overnight, start the car for 5 minutes, shut it off and soak it again with PB Blaster for a day. Then they will come off with a crescent wrench and a couple of hits with a hammer.
I thought one of the reasons for diesels is the ability to take down dirty gas. eg) When you go to Mexico
@@nickardecky7404 I have to agree with you Nick but I used only SHELL and still had issues with the Mercedes (Over and Over) until I started this technique that only takes 15 minutes.

Wow! I just had a NOx sensor changed on my Sprinter van. $511 (canadian) for the sensor itself, $110 to install. And then I saw this video... Ouch!
Luc,
I know it is painful to replace these units. Now you know.
If you haven't subscribed and liked the channel...please do and we are posting another great video tommorrow. See ya Luc
I’ve seen other comments saying it only saves u 3 months at most. Haven’t came across anything that says it fully fixes the issue. I think I’m still gonna try it.😂
I am contemplating buying a 2012 Sprinter Crew. I have been reading all about these DEF and NOx problems. Is there a place that has the definitive fixes for all these ?
on a german car you have to relearn the sensor on with a diagnostic programm. And you have to watch in the Fault list, clear it and controll if the car isnt still driving in the homogen, it have to be in layer load now.
But nice method to clean the sensor :)
Thanks for the info! I'm going to try this on my sprinter van before I drop a grand on having them replaced!
Your welcome James. It is simple and you can always spend the $1000 if it doesn't work right?
Hey James, did you tried this procedure already ? And do you maybe know if you replace nox sensor does it require any reprogramming or just basic code reset will do the job ? Thanks
@@MrBanex25 I tried it only on the #2 sensor. I still need to locate and clean the #1, but it looks like I may have a dead DEF heater.
To my knowledge, the NOX sensors don't require reprogramming.
If your vehicle is in countdown mode or is giving you messages, I would recommend contacting the service dept at a nearby dealer and seeing if they can help identify possible issues.
Best of luck!
@@jimstevetom Thank you I appreciate
James, did it work? What year is your Sprinter? I am thinking of buying a 2012. This DEF and NOx issue and the count down issues look like a hassle.
Great Video. Thanks! I was so mystified by NOx Sensors and the check engine light. I feel so much more confident that I could do this alone. I'm ordering the sensor removal tool now!
Thanks!

Ok, so i just tried this on my duramax last week, soaked it overnight, sprayed it down next day with carb cleaner, and for a few days, nothing happened to indicate any change. Third day, it went up past the 55 mph for a couple minutes and then gave me the warning and transitioned back to 55. Today, drove about 80 miles, no emissions warning, no reduced speed! At first i was hesitant to bother and just buy a new sensor but with 220K on the truck, what did i have to lose! So far, it might have fixed it!
Bob - i have a 2012 silverado 3500hd with dura 6.6 LML. only 90,000. just got the service emissions warning, 175 miles til limp. put a reader on it & i'm getting the p2200, 2201,2202 all indicating nox sensor 1 bank 1. my problem is that i live over 200 miles from dealer. was wondering if this worked for you. after cleaning your nox 1 did it indeed clear itself and has it come back? did you have to clear codes manually or did it do it on it's own? man i hate how hard these 'newer:)' trucks are to work on. thanks - barbie
@@8barbies779 it worked for a couple months then issue came back. I parked the truck and have been driving my car so I haven't messed with it anymore. I wonder if cleaning again for longer would work? Idk.
@@bobtluchak6305 i had a feeling it would come back. it gets confusing to me but without the right scanner or knowing how to do it exactly i think it's hard to permanently delete those codes. i've read some 'tamper' stuff related to some ECUs but i'm still trying to research. getting so pissed, i read somewhere that these NOX sensors are hard to get right now too, sucks cuz i gotta drive to idaho tomorrow - 400 miles & i'm about to go into limp mode. fk!
@@8barbies779 I had seen them available on rock auto, I'd also try a wrecking yard, get a used one
@@bobtluchak6305 yeah, i haven't even called the dealer yet cuz i've gotta change all my plans around:)))

@@gmiller4326 definetly agree I tried your way with the cleaner first for 10 pounds or so was worth a go ended up getting it diagnosed from garage and then changed it myself problem with these are you need a proper snap on computer to reset the ECU and box.sensor as a DIY guy like me it's a nightmare back to the garage lol subscribed
Super helpful... going to try this on my Merc ... thank you
Glad it was helpful!
The CEL on my 2015 Sprinter van came on today and scanner said "NOx sensor downstream of SCR...." is outside the permissible range. I guess this means "first clean the sensors!" I will try what this video showed then I will follow up with results later. Fingers crossed, wish me luck!!
so how the result?
@@bluegables did you try?
@@avarora Not yet, I brought the same solution. Now the CEL is off, plan to do this in Spring.

Have a sprinter with same code. Did this work for you?
Well good morning Mr. Miller, a warm hello from the sunshine state👋 yes sir I’m pretty mechanically inclined myself I am into heavy truck computer diagnostics, and yes that little detail that you have done and helps out a lot tremendously and you can probably do that a few more times and then when it comes to buy the essential then pack it out the money, but he sure does help to have a little bit of knowledge and tools in the will power do it yourself , and maybe save $1000.000 you never know😀 Yeah I was waiting for the test drive and make sure that everything was cleared out, that’s good, I figure the vehicle will be about five years old that’s when a lot of sense is my start acting up to the wear and tear of being dirty, well listen thank you and enjoy your day, 👌👋

The Lucas oil is designed to break down the carbon in systems when it is mixed with gasoline/diesel, atomized, and burned. It has no effect on parts soaking in it. The only thing that is removing the sensor carbon buildup in this video is a few seconds of Carb Cleaner that is being sprayed into the sensor. Don’t waist your time and money soaking it in Lucas oil, just spray it with cleaner and blow it out with compressed air.
You only cleaned one side on your 250 did you actually clean both I still have car up so would be easier to do second one if that is necessary. thanks this was most helpful.
Yes I did clean both sensors.. Good Luck Jim
Great video 👍 but mine is ML360 4matic and l looked everywhere underneath the car like you did ,can’t find where it is!
Sam look for the wires that go in to the exhaust pipe. You may have to start at the exhaust manifold and work back to the tail pipe. If it is a diesel it has the sensors.

G Miller yes l did look at it and l saw 4 sensors 2 right and left upper and 2 right and left lower so l didn’t know which ones are the Nox sensor or just all 4 are Noxes ? It’s ML350 4 magic spots 3.5L Gas
Hi buddy, I got a c220d
Nox sensor issue started 3 years ago and Mercedes accepted liability and replaced. It then needed replacing 2 more times within 2 years. But the third time they made an excuse telling me that the ad blu was contaminated (no idea how) and that may be causing the issue and they didn’t replace.
Do you think cleaning the sensors will be better or having the nox sensor and the ad blu mapped out of the system would be better(assuming they won’t effect the performance of the car)
Thanks
@TheJewelleryWorkshop
Well, its hard to tell what is causing the issue if it has been replaced that often but as long as Mercedes is willing to keep replacing the sensor, I would let them. Also, there are Lemon Laws that come in to play on items that keep failing time and time again. Mercedes generally will stand by thier repair even after warranty period if they have repaired it once as their view point is it wasnt repaired properly or you would be back with the same issue. I know its frustrating but as long as Mercedes is still swapping out the sensor, why not let them and you can always go the route of Lemon Law if all else fails becuase this is a common problem that has not been dealth with properly.

I bought the exact breaker bar and adapter, you recommended and could not get the nut loose. Tried even adding wd40 to try and loosen it. The nut started to strip so I have no idea what to do but bring it into my mechanic:(
Yes...those nuts are extremely tight as you seen in the video. I was told by another viewer, to start the car and let it come up to temperature and it can help with getting it loose. It takes some muscle to get those nuts to break loose and I am 6 foot 3 inches and I had to really lean in to it to get break loose.
Stay safe all
Thank you so much for posting your video. I will do the following hope that the faulty sensor goes off. On the flip side, the dealer found short in add blue level sensor so, now i have 4 start atemps before i deal with issues. Do you have a video on how to reset or fix that problem. thanks my vehicle is 2013 GLK 250 the dealer of course wants to replace the whole tank.? is that really necessary they claim the level sensor is stuck.. help if you can thanks

I have driven 800 miles with no issues however, today the CEL came back on and code now says P2BAD “nox exceedence, source unknown” could this be because i did not recalibrate the NOX sensors? I took each one out and cleaned them as well as the soot sensor. I am at a loss, i really hate to pay all that money to have them replaced.
Stifa,
Are you losing gas mileage? Is the car acting sluggish or blowing black smoke? Sometimes. the catalytic converter is trashed and just pushing soot to the senors. Let me know...
WELL DONE

Thank you for the video!
Really good video a woman cloud do to x
I having the same issue with my car (Nox sensor with engine symbol on the dashboard)Mercedes Benz C220 diesel 2014 so I took to the mechanic to fix it and he said need to change the Nox sensor and will clear the fault. ,,He did it" but still have the same issue because the engine symbol came back with the adblue thing on the dashboard so I took it back and then he took to the electrition but STILL NOT FIXED!
So now I took my car back 3rd time with the same issue and told him If will not fixed I need my money back!
Have any ideas what's going on?
Thanks,Ramona
Romona,
Really hard to tell as the NOX sensors are "Plug-N-Play" and just need to reset the computer to let it know there is a new sensor. Sometimes, its a good idea to take it to a real Mercedes dealer to diagnose and give you a quote to fix. You can then jut tell the dealer you will need to come back when you have enough money or use the information to fix the underlying problem. Good luck!!
I have a similar problem on my C Class 2015 2.2L Sports Premium. Did you get it sorted? If yes can you please share
Thanks immensely for your video
Do you repair all other sensors on a diesel engine same way? If No...which other ones can you repair as we just saw.
Word of Wisdom, You can clean any sensor that tests air or soot levels and that could have build up as the fault. Let us know how things go for you. THANKS WISDOM oh and if you haven't joined our family, please do as we love people like yourself that contributes. WELCOME
Tell me how to join the family😅
Hi sir i have a question my mechanic said he only remove 1 sensor the other one he finds it difficult to removed so when im watching your video you only clean 1 sensor, do we have to remove both? Thnx
Yes one is a Soot sensor and one is a NOX sensor. You can clean both at the same time or just clean the one sensor that you have an error code on. Good Luck and remember to subscribe to our channel for more really cool DIY content!
Thank you for the great direct information in the video , my c180 diesel 2018 popped out Adblue check error message plus the yellow check engine light
From where should I start ? I am a do it ur self person but on VW 😀
So which cheap diagnosing tool should I have and how to deal with this error correctly?
Greetings from Austria 🇦🇹 and thanks again

Thank you 🙏
Mega Mac,
Well WELCOME aboard. We love having good folks like you in our family. That is such great news about the 2018 C180 as that is the easiest fix there can be. We look forward to sharing new cool and helpful videos with you soon. Let the family know if you need anything.
Nice video, thank you for uploading! I have a Mercedes V-klass 2,5 4WheelDrive 2018, with 40.000km on it and already my engine indicator is burning. Saying ^NOx Sensor Circuit Range/Performance Bank 1^ is this also easy to clean of easy to get acces to the sensor beacause its 2018? If i am guessing right it has 2 sensors to be cleaned or changed? Can u please give me a advise what to do? Buy or try to clean. Thank You!
SaQuil,
Thank you for the contribution. Well, like so many others here... it makes sense to spend $10 and clean the sensor and if it doesn't work, you can always take the car to the dealer and pay them to replace it. I would guess 80-90% have been successful. Please subscribe to Miller Family Farm Trust Channel and join our family. Leave a message here once you have subscribed.
I watched this video and went under the car to pull the one on the driver side, like the video showed, but wasn't sure if it was a NOX sensor and looked up the part number and it showed that its not the NOX. The one on the passenger side is the NOX. Could this have been switched at a shop?
Job well done! One is a sut sensor and one is a nox sensor. Good job at looking up your part numbers. Good Luck with your project and welcome to the family. Subscribe to our family and make sure to hit the like button if you really like our videos. Get-er-done!
Great video, but I’m curious since it’s been 2 yrs now after your Nox sensor cleaning. Did it fix the code problem indefinitely the past 2 yrs or did codes return after a short while? I have this exact same vehicle (GLK250 2015) with the exact same problem.
Hello Kyle Mills, Sorry for the delay...was doing my turkey vacation. The MERCEDES ran strong for 3 months after the maintenance and sold it for a NEW F250.

Did u just put it back in while it’s still wet from the carburator cleaner? And how long did it take for it to be faulty again?

Nice Video, very helpful, I’m having a NOX Sensor issue with my downstream Nox which has put on my engine management light on, never thought to clean it, seems it might be worth trying this first 👍
Hello Rich,
Glad you like the video as we put a lot of time in making these. We invite you to subscribe to our channel and be a part of our family. Let us know how your NOx job turns out.
Any luck?
It's 5 years later now. I'm wondering how long this fix worked for? Weeks?, months?, years?, still going?
Any issues meanwhile with Nox sensor.
my merced van has a faullty nox sensor. I want try same thing.
Good Day Crina, I sold the Mercedes so I cannot tell you how the sensor is doing now but it was fine for about 3,000 miles after cleaning both sensors. Good Luck
I will training this
Vitaliy,
So glad to hear that we could help you save huge money and thank you for your contribution here on the Miller Family Farm Channel. Have you joined our family here and subscribed. We love people like yourself that share their wisdom and feedback. Come join our family if you haven't....
I am trying that and will see if it works. It is the second time in 2 years we have the nox sensor check engine in 2-3 years and wondering if it is caused by not using the mercedez bluetec. I am using DEF that is supposed to be meeting the iso standard specified by mercedez but do you think it might be the caused or am I just unlucky. Just because of the sensor this 250 bluetec is a nightmare. And Mercedez service is absolutely atrocious. They will charge me 1 hour labor just to diagnose, so about 200 $. Then then probably 1000$ to fix.
Your not unlucky.... I have a 2015 GLK250 and the sensors went bad 3 times now and this was my fourth round before I had to figure out how to do this cheaper. So glad to hear that we could help you save huge money and thank you for your contribution here on the Miller Family Farm Channel. Have you joined our family here and subscribed.

Hi all ,
Seems to have similar problem on my e class w213 sensor on front not working I did changing and again engine light come on, not sure what else to do
100% your service didn't replaced to sensors. I really recommend it local garages. Take your parts and go them 👍
HI THERE,GREAT VIDEO ! I JUST CAME BACK FROM MY MECHANIC AND HE WANTS 1700 EUROS TO DO IT FOR MY CAR ( 2014 S CLASS 350D BLUTEC ).....I RAN HOME AND HERE I AM.....2 QUESTIONS PLEASE...ARE THERE 2 SENSORS WHEN THE MESSAGE IS < NOX SENSOR > OR JUST ONE THAT I HAVE TO CLEAN,COS, I AM PLANING TO DO IT MY SELF. THANX AGAIN ....HOPE YOU CAN HELP ME !
Good Day Pavlos,
I did not notice if you subscribed to the channel. If you haven't ....please do.
There is one NOX sensor and one Soot sensor and you can clean both. Good Luck
I tried this today. I'm going to let it soak for 24 hours. I'll let you know how it works.
Good for you Marty,
Let us know how it goes as it really saves a load of money. I have been told occasionally, it will not clean out the sensor but I think that is only when you drove with the sensor plugged for sometime. We like people who share on our channel and would love to have you subscribe and contribute to the remainder of our family here at the MILLER FAMILY FARM TRUST channel.
@@gmiller4326 Worked for about 10 miles then the light came back on. That was after 24 hours of soaking. I ordered a new one.

Will the error messages on the dash clear by themselves or will it need to go on a diagnostic?
Not sure what type of vehicle you drive so it makes it impossible to answer your question but some say the error code clears itself after driving and others say you have to clear it with a diagnostic tool.
Hi I have a c200d 2017 ! I filled up with 10 L of ad blue 3 weeeks ago and recently it says cannot measure ad blue level and e/m light has came on!I ran a diagnostics and I’m getting these fault codes P22A677.( the heater of the nox sensor 2 (cylinder bank 1 )
has an electrical fault) And P13DF09. (The adblue system has a malfunction there is a component fault ) and P2BA901! The car drives absolutely fine is this something I could fix any help would be much appreciated or could I use this same cleaning method mabe to clean it
Welcome Dzgdot,
I would recommend googling the fault codes to see exactly what we are dealing with and if it is sensor related in the exhaust system. Once you know for sure what you are dealing with then you can google the sensor that is malfunctioning and see if it is the same sensor location that is in this video and if it is, then you can try the simple procedure in the video. We would love to have you subscribe to our family here at Miller Family Farm Trust Channel and please let us know once you have subscribed. WELCOME

Would brake cleaner do the job instead of carburetor cleaner?
Thanks, nice vid.
Thank you for the compliments on the video. We are not sure about the carburetor cleaner but let us know if it works.
Would the sensor removal tool work on a 2008 GL 320 CDI V6 (OM642) engine?
Good Day Don,
Yes I would think the sensor removal tools is pretty universal for all Mercedes as seen in the video. Let us know how it goes and please subscribe to our channel. Welcome

We would love to help but do not understand your question and noticed that you were not subscribed to our channel. Standing by...
what codes did you have mate? I cleared my 2 codes P229F00(Nox sensor) +P20EE00 that came up with the ad blue 600mile warning. Only took 4 litres to top up. But light still there. Will cleaning the nox sort the ad blue problem?
Hello Frank,

I do not remember the codes my 250 as the codes where over 2 years ago but start with the basics and get the sensors cleaned up and then lets see if that takes care of the "Blue" issue too. Let us know...

Hi, so did the engine light stay off permanently or did it come back after a while…mine has just come on today code p229e
Good Day Chris,
Mine stayed off permanently but others here on the Miller Family Farm Trust Channel said they had to clean their sensors more than once depending on how dirty it was.
Helo. I have C220 2015 and fault is P220 E.
“Heating position set points 1 can not be reached”
Would this help? In my case I have specific situation where I engine light comes on and off few days on, few days off. I have feeling its because of bupms on road but my mechanic checked all contacts and if was good. Not sure what it is, maybe in chip?
What you guys think? (Anyone here welcome to advice)
HERE IS THE GOOGLED CODE:
OBD2 Diagnostic Trouble Code P220E means that NOx Sensor Heater Control Circuit Range/Performance, Bank 1 Sensor 1 has been detected.
It appears to be a NOx Sensor issue and you could do this simple fix and see if it resolves your problem and while you are doing this procedure, you can also check the connections as well.
We noticed you have NOT yet subscribed to the Miller Family Farm Trust channel and we'd love to have you. Let us know once you have subscribed. WELCOME
is that sensor you are doing the driver or passenger side
I did both sensors on both the driver side and passenger side.
I can not find super tech carburetor and air intake cleaner. What else could I use to spray the sensor after soaking it in Lucas injector cleaner please ? I mean a diesel engine ?

Sail, I found it a little loose as well but it works. I don't think there is a 22mm version but a quick phone call to any parts store would let you know for sure. Let us know how things go....
Great work, would this be the same for a BMW E90 2.0 litre petrol? Thsnks.

These sensors do cause the engine light to come on but you can take your vehicle to your local parts store and have them run a FREE diagnostic on the engine to determine if it is a sensor issue.

Welcome to the family. Yes you can certainly try this on your sooted sensors and the worst case is you will have to buy a new sensor. Let us know how it goes for you. Most people here have found that it works 95% of the time. WELCOME!!!
hi there, great video . Will this work on an SCR system? I have a semi 2013 Detroit dd13 spitting out a code for an outlet not sensor.
Awesome. Do you know anyone/mechanic in Toronto, Canada who can do the job for my 2010 ML350?

Has anyone tried this? Has it worked? I’ve had the engine light on for 2 weeks and it comes up as nox sensor, before I take it to Mercedes I’m thinking about trying this. Thank you
I’ve managed to find someone that can delete the ad blue and it got rid of the sensor £400
Injector cleaner sure is great for cleaning teeth!
Well, LOL...fuel injector cleaner is but the heartburn is horrendous.
Can you give an update on whether it ever coded again?
Good Evening, I ran my Mercedes for about 3 months and ended up selling the car. So it ran great for 3 months on this hack. Good Luck
