P24EA

NH3 Sensor Supply Voltage Circuit

The supply rail that powers the NH3 slip sensor electronics (typically 5 V or 12 V from the dosing/SCR module) is out of tolerance. Without a stable supply the sensor cannot deliver a valid ammonia reading, and the ECM disables the closed-loop SCR strategy.
