Description:
A NOx (Nitrogen Oxide) sensor LC3A-5E145-BA 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. NOx Nitrogen Oxide Sensor For Ford 6.7L F250, F350, F450 2017-2022

Part Number
: LC3A-5E145-BA
Condition: New
Manufacture/Brand: Ford

Fits LC3A-5E145-BA For 

  • 2017–2022 Ford F-250 Super Duty — 6.7L Power Stroke V8 diesel
  • 2017–2022 Ford F-350 Super Duty — 6.7L Power Stroke V8 diesel
  • 2017–2022 Ford F-450 Super Duty — 6.7L Power Stroke V8 diesel



Purpose of using LC3A-5E145-BA:

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 Oixide Sensor LC3A-5E145-BA:

  • Check engine light (MIL)

  • Poor fuel efficiency

  • High DEF (AdBlue) consumption

  • Failed emissions tests

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