U029D 87 Fault in communication with Nox sensor

Unread post by Autoholm »

Hello

C4 blue hdi 1,6 2016 Win: :
VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]
Første reg:
06-01-2016
Motorkode:
BH02

I would be very happy if someone could help me.

I did change the Nox sensor and repair with diagbox9.125 but still get the same U029D.
There is current in the wire/connection 12 volt and 2,5 volt.

Any idea?

Thanks in advance
peter

On some vehicles this fault without the 87 at the end is referred to in a technical bulletin and required updating of the engine management software, so I can't say for sure if this would be the same with the '87' on the end, but here is the full fault code info:

Be aware that this can only be updated from Citroen's Servers, so you will need an account with paid access or will need to get the dealer to apply it (if it is relevant to your vehicle). Best of luck.
