What it means

P2203 means NOx Sensor Circuit High Bank 1 Sensor 1.

Where it lives

For P2203, the sensor sits on the circuit this code reports. The description of P2203 puts it on bank 1.

Check these first

  • A short to voltage on the bank 1 sensor 1 NOx signal wire
  • A failed bank 1 sensor 1 NOx sensor driving its signal high
  • Chafed bank 1 sensor 1 NOx wiring touching a power feed
  • High resistance in the bank 1 sensor 1 NOx ground circuit

What to do next

  1. Read bank 1 sensor 1 NOx voltage on a scan tool
  2. Test the bank 1 sensor 1 NOx signal wire for a short to voltage
  3. Inspect the bank 1 sensor 1 NOx harness routing for chafe
  4. Check the bank 1 sensor 1 NOx ground circuit
  5. Replace the bank 1 sensor 1 NOx sensor if the wiring tests good
  6. Clear the code and retest
