P2568Direct Ozone Reduction Catalyst Temperature Sensor Circuit Range/Performance

  • Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
  • Turns on the check-engine light
  • Matters for the ITP
  • Needs a drive cycle to confirm a fix
How the car detects it
P2568 is the plausibility check of the sensor on a direct ozone reduction (DOR) radiator, whose coating converts ozone in the cooling air. VW's 2014 specification books for the CC and Tiguan set it on a failed ID check or a failed functional check of the temperature sensor. VW Tech Tip 19-12-01 explains that on 2009-2015 Eos, Jetta, GTI, Passat and Tiguan with the 2.0 L TSI (CCTA, CBFA) this code refers to the radiator identification sensor G611; a new radiator comes with the sensor packed separately, to be bonded on. A non-coated aftermarket radiator or an unbonded sensor therefore triggers P2568. P2569/P2570 are LIN electrical faults, P2567 the general circuit fault. CARB section (e)(14) requires DOR monitoring.
What you may notice
  • Check engine light, often after a radiator replacement
  • No change in driveability or engine cooling
  • Possible failed emissions inspection
Likely causes
  • LikelyAftermarket radiator without ozone coating or without the identification sensor
  • PossibleIdentification sensor not bonded after radiator replacement
  • PossibleIdentification/temperature sensor failed its self-test
Inspection (ITP)
Matters for the ITP. While the check-engine light is on, the car fails the emissions check.
