U029D-00

Engine protection and emissions inducement power-limiting faults.

Active derate — truck is losing power now

Diagnostic Overview

Mack fault code U029D-00 usually indicates lost communication with a NOx sensor module. If the ECM cannot communicate with a NOx sensor, the SCR system cannot accurately confirm emissions performance and may enter warning or derate logic. This is often an electrical, power, ground, or CAN communication issue.

Likely Causes

Failed NOx sensor module; power or ground loss; data-link wiring issue; connector corrosion; damaged harness; low system voltage.

What To Check First

Check NOx sensor power, ground, connector condition, and CAN communication before replacing the sensor.
