ANY QUESTIONS? WE’RE HERE TO PROVIDE answers — JUST ASK!

A stored warning can stay active long after the first fault appears on the dashboard. On this page, we focus on 2018 Sprinter upstream NOx sensor cases and explain how our handheld solution helps clear the warning linked to the sensor path so the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter can stay in use without immediate replacement of the original part.

When this solution is relevant

Our company supplies a plug-and-play tool for owners who have an active fault tied to the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter NOx sensor path. In practice, the warning often remains even after the owner checks the sensor, compares the sensor position, or reviews whether the fault belongs to the upstream NOx sensor. The goal of this solution is simple: remove the stored dashboard restriction and keep your vehicle available for work.

This page stays focused on one topic only. We do not turn it into a catalog of unrelated products. We also do not use it for broad workshop topics outside the NOx sensor path, even when search results mix in phrases such as fuel pump or high pressure fuel. Here, those phrases are used only as search context, not as separate repair topics.

How owners usually describe the issue

Search language varies, but the intent stays narrow. Owners may search for upstream sensor for Mercedes, upstream NOx sensor, Nitrogen Oxide NOx sensor, Sprinter NOx sensor problems, NOx sensor – Sprinter 906, or Quick tip: Mercedes Sprinter NOx sensor reset. In many cases, the owner has already checked a remanufactured NOx sensor, compared the price of a new part, or tried a low-cost reset step, but the warning still stays active.

Relevant when the upstream sensor fault remains stored
No need to replace the original part right away

What our solution does

The tool connects through OBD and applies the required script to clear the stored dashboard fault. It does not replace the sensor, and it does not require immediate hardware change. Instead, it removes the active restriction so the owner can keep using the van while deciding on the next step. That matters when the main target is to restore normal operation, avoid downtime, and keep the price of the solution lower than repeated trial-and-error parts replacement.

What we need for correct matching

To prepare the correct setup, we may ask for the exact warning text, the model details, and basic information about when the fault appeared. That helps us confirm the correct sensor path and match the right solution for your vehicle. If the owner already checked one sensor, changed one part, or compared several products before ordering, that information helps us keep the selection accurate and focused on this exact NOx issue.

Question by Tyler • Published on March 10, 2026

How do I clear an upstream NOx sensor warning on a 2018 Sprinter?

My 2018 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter keeps showing an upstream NOx sensor warning and the light stays on even after I checked the sensor and looked at replacement options, so I do not want to keep wasting time and money on more parts if the van still has to work. Is there a way to clear the stored fault properly and keep using it while the original sensor stays in place for now?

Answer by OBDtune Team

What you'll run into without our module

You might not see them coming, but additional issues are often part of the package. It's the heads-up every customer needs.

Dealers delay

Waiting on car parts from a dealer? Brace for delays. Parts often aren't in stock, and delivery dates can shift, leaving you hanging. Dozen of surprises.

Wasting money

Repair expenses hit hard. High costs for parts and labor, plus dealer markups, and downtime mean losing more money. It's a major financial issue for truck owners.

Repair downtime

Bracing for repairs? Parts and labor are pricey, and there's always a chance of finding more issues, especially with the exhaust system.

Why better choose package deal

Just a quick heads-up on the headaches our solutions will save you from. Through years of experience, we've nailed down our customers' top issues and crafted the perfect fix for each. A package deal – it's an all-in-one solution.

Exhaust Gas Recirculation or EGR

Soot builds up on the valve, which can interfere with its operation and cause it to fail. Repairs are expensive and difficult. And most often the repair period takes a long time.

AVERAGE COST

How much you'll save

2000

Selective Catalytic Reduction or SCR

The SCR system consists of a large number of components that can fail. The most expensive breakdown is the DEF level sensor in the tank, as it will require replacing the tank entirely.

AVERAGE COST

How much you'll save

3000

Swirl Flaps in the Intake Manifold

Also, soot builds up in the intake manifold, which will interfere with the operation of the flaps. In this case, the entire exhaust manifold will have to be replaced, which is very expensive.

AVERAGE COST

How much you'll save

3500

Diesel Particulate Filter or DPF

Remove the DPF when it is clogged and only if you don't want to buy a new one, because it is very expensive. In that case we could add coding additionally so you can remove the DPF when the time comes.

AVERAGE COST

How much you'll save

5000

ALREADY INCLUDED IN THE PACKAGE DEAL

SEPARATE CODING OF DPF DELETE OPTION

With this coding, you’ll have the option to remove the DPF from the system.

We advise only removing it if it's fully clogged and replacement or removal is required. Removing it early has no real benefit, so it’s best to wait until it’s truly necessary.

The updated code seems to be working. I was able to run it for shot trip and I did not get any egr related codes. I would like to proceed with our other sprinter. Same tune, DEF delete, egr delete, and performance.
