Is there anyway that your code was a P11D7 instead of P11DC? I ask you because I have got this code a couple of times in the last 35K miles. I bought a code reader soon after a couple CEL's right after I bought the CTD to avoid the dealer visits.

[h=3]2014 Chevrolet Cruze 2.0L Eng Diesel[/h][h=3]Circuit/System Description[/h] The reductant system uses two nitrogen oxide (NOx) sensors to monitor the amount of NOx in the engine's exhaust gas. The first sensor is located at the outlet of the turbocharger and monitors the engine out NOx level. The second NOx sensor is located after the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) and monitors NOx levels downstream of the SCR.
Each NOx sensor contains a sensing cell, a pumping cell and a heater. A sample of exhaust gas passes through a diffusion gap between the sensing cell and the pumping cell. The NOx sensor maintains a constant reference voltage across the sensing cell. An electronic circuit within sensor controls the pump current through the pumping cell in order to maintain a constant voltage in the sensing cell. The amount of current required to maintain the reference voltage in the sensing cell is proportional to the concentration of NOx in the exhaust.
The ECM varies the amount of diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) or reductant added by varying the reductant injector duty cycle in response to changes in engine exhaust out NOx levels.
The smart NOx sensors consist of two components, the NOx module and the NOx sensor element that are serviced as a unit. A circuit or performance condition with a NOx sensor is detected by the NOx sensor module. The smart NOx sensor module communicates the condition to the ECM over the serial data line. The ECM sets a DTC when a serial data message is received from the NOx sensor module.
P11DC
- DTCs P064C, P163C, P220A, P220B, P22A3, P229E, U029D and U029E are not set.
- The EGT sensor 3 is between 100-600°C (212-1112° F).
- The engine speed is greater than 600 RPM for 5 minutes.
- The battery voltage is greater than 11 V.
- NOx sensor 1 and NOx sensor 2 status shows activity.
- The fault exists for more than 3 events during a key cycle.
- The DTC runs continuously when the above conditions are met.
Any chance you could post this information for P11D7 as well? I've been trying to locate the cause of that code on my vehicle, but all I can get is that it generally has something to do with a NOX sensor, but no data as specific as this.![]()

[h=3]Conditions for Running the DTCs[/h]
[h=3]Conditions for Setting the DTC[/h] Due to aging and poisoning of the sensor element, the characteristics could change and have to be monitored. Therefore, a self diagnosis is implemented within the sensor control unit which is determining a measurement deviation in relation to a reference point defined during sensor production.
P11D7
The NOx sensor control unit sends a unique message to the ECM upon the self-diagnosis being aborted. The number of aborts is tracked by the ECM. If the number of self diagnostic aborts exceeds a threshold, the DTC is set.
P22FE
The NOx sensor self diagnostic result is received from the NOx sensor control unit and stored in a ring buffer, which takes the average of the last calibrated number of test results and averages them for comparison to an upper and lower calibrated threshold. If the average result is greater than or less than the calibrated thresholds, a NOx sensor self diagnostic fault will set.
