(code descriptions may vary)    Comments    
3217-16     E1407 (2)     Aftertreatment #1 Intake O2 : High - moderate severity (2)     The Engine Out NOx Sensor is reading a higher than expected level of Oxygen (O2).    
3227-16     E1408 (2)     Aftertreatment #1 Outlet O2 : High - moderate severity (2)     The Tailpipe Out NOx Sensor is reading a higher than expected level of Oxygen (O2).    The exhaust system is equipped with two sensors that measure Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) and Oxygen (O2). Sensor #1 is mounted in the exhaust pipe between the engine turbocharger and the Clean Emissions Module (CEM) and is referred to as the Engine Out NOx sensor. This sensor monitors the NOx and O2 coming out of the engine. Sensor #2 is mounted in the exhaust pipe after the Selective Catalyst Reduction (SCR) catalyst and is referred to as the Tailpipe Out NOx sensor. This sensor monitors the NOx and O2 exiting the SCR cannister. Follow the troubleshooting procedure in order to identify the root cause of the problem.
