Got a P06EA today. Heard from two different service advisors from the same dealership at home. The first said it would okay to drive home towing our 5th wheel. Other left a message advising not drive home. The distance is 600 miles from the Rio Grande valley to Ft. Worth. The truck has 29K miles. Finally, are there any recommendations for Ford service in the Mission/McAllen, TX area?

Hi 4bigred,
Since you're concerned, you may want to contact Ford Roadside Assistance to have your truck towed to the nearest dealership. They can be reached at 1-800-241-3673. Additionally, you can find dealers in the area where you are presently by entering the ZIP code here: Ford Dealers | Locate a Ford Dealer Near You | Ford.com
The NOx sensor is primarily used to sense NOx concentrations in diesel exhaust gas. The sensor is mounted in a vehicle’s exhaust pipe, perpendicular to exhaust gas flow between the SCR and resonator. The sensor is typically mounted, in an aftertreatment-equipped diesel exhaust system, upstream of the SCR and DPF on a Chassis Certified Vehicle and upstream of the SCR only on a Dynamometer Certified Vehicle. The sensor interfaces to a NOx controller module that controls the sensor element’s sense circuit and heater.
Should you continue to drive it? I can't answer for you, but I would not take the chance having the SCR system go into limp mode and shut down somewhere miles from a tow or dealer. The sensor could detect high NOX and do things you won't like!
Like noted before, it's most likely a warranty issue that Ford will honor.
Best wishes for a prompt repair! It's probably a fast fix.
Thanks for all of you for the replies. I was able to get it into Spike's Ford in Mission, TX. Got it back before mid-afternoon. All covered under warranty.
