P2200 on Volvo
NOx Sensor Circuit Bank 1 Sensor 1
P2200 on Volvo vehicles indicates nox sensor circuit bank 1 sensor 1. Au7o has documented this code across 1 Volvo model — most commonly on V60. P2200 is a generic powertrain code indicating the engine control module (ECM) has detected a fault in the electrical circuit of the NOx (nitrogen oxide) sensor for Bank 1, Sensor 1. This sensor measures NOx concentration in the exhaust as part of the emissions aftertreatment system (typically SCR/DEF on diesels), and the code means the circuit is open, shorted, or producing an out-of-range signal. Typical repair costs on Volvo range from $300 to $1,200, depending on the specific model and root cause.
Common Causes of P2200
- •Failed or contaminated NOx sensor (Bank 1, Sensor 1)
- •Open, shorted, or corroded wiring or connector in the NOx sensor circuit
- •Damaged or chafed harness exposed to exhaust heat
- •Loss of power or ground to the sensor
- •Failed NOx sensor control module
- •ECM/PCM software fault or, rarely, internal ECM failure

- AdBlue / SCR NOx Sensor Faults and Start-Prevented Countdown2016-2021
On AdBlue/SCR-equipped diesel V60s, faults in the NOx sensors and AdBlue dosing system are common. A drifting or failed NOx sensor makes the system believe the SCR catalyst is not reducing emissions, throwing AdBlue/dosing warnings and limp mode. Critically, persistent NOx/SCR faults trigger an emissions 'start-prevented' countdown that, if ignored, will refuse to restart the engine. Air trapped in the dosing line, a faulty dosing valve/module, or contaminated AdBlue can produce the same symptoms.

What does P2200 mean on Volvo?▼
P2200 stands for "NOx Sensor Circuit Bank 1 Sensor 1." P2200 is a generic powertrain code indicating the engine control module (ECM) has detected a fault in the electrical circuit of the NOx (nitrogen oxide) sensor for Bank 1, Sensor 1. This sensor measures NOx concentration in the exhaust as part of the emissions aftertreatment system (typically SCR/DEF on diesels), and the code means the circuit is open, shorted, or producing an out-of-range signal. On Volvo specifically, this code is documented across 1 model.
What causes P2200 on Volvo vehicles?▼
Common causes on Volvo: Failed or contaminated NOx sensor (Bank 1, Sensor 1), Open, shorted, or corroded wiring or connector in the NOx sensor circuit, Damaged or chafed harness exposed to exhaust heat, Loss of power or ground to the sensor, Failed NOx sensor control module. Specific causes vary by model and year — see the per-model sections below.
How much does it cost to fix P2200 on a Volvo?▼
