Description:
A NOx (Nitrogen Oxide) sensor 5698480 is an electronic device used in internal combustion engines (especially diesel engines) to detect and measure the concentration of nitrogen oxides (NO and NO₂) in the exhaust gases. These pollutants are harmful to human health and the environment, so monitoring and controlling them is crucial for meeting emissions regulations.

Part Number: 5698480, 5698480RX, 5698480NX
Condition: New
Manufacture/Brand: Cummins

Fits 5698480 For Cummins engine systems EPA21 8.9 liter ISC/ISL
Engines: B6.7 CM2450 B155B, QSK60 CM2350 K116, QSK60 CM2350 K135, X12 CM2350 X119B, X12 CM2450 X137B

Purpose of using 5698480:

1. Emissions Control

Measures NOx levels in the exhaust to ensure they stay within legal limits (EPA, Euro 6, etc.)
Helps reduce harmful pollutants that contribute to:
Air pollution
Smog
Acid rain
Respiratory and cardiovascular problems

2. Enables SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) System

SCR uses Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF/AdBlue) to convert NOx into harmless nitrogen (N₂) and water (H₂O).
The NOx sensor provides feedback to control how much DEF to inject.
Ensures proper dosing to avoid:
Overuse (wasting DEF)
Underuse (failing emissions requirements)

3. Engine Performance Optimization

Works with the ECU (Engine Control Unit) to adjust:
Air-fuel ratio
Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR)
Combustion timing
Helps balance fuel economy, power, and emissions

4. Diagnostic and Safety Functions

Detects when emissions systems (like SCR or DPF) are failing or underperforming
Triggers check engine lights, fault codes, or limp mode if NOx levels exceed safe limits
Required for onboard diagnostics (OBD) compliance


Signs of a Bad NOx Nitrogen Oxide Sensor 5698480:

  • Check engine light (MIL)

  • Poor fuel efficiency

  • High DEF (AdBlue) consumption

  • Failed emissions tests

  • Error codes like P2201, P229F, P20EE, etc.
