What is a EGR temperature sensor?

What is a EGR temperature sensor?

The EGR temperature sensor is an engine management sensor that is part of the EGR system. It works together with the EGR solenoid to control the flow of the EGR system. The sensor is installed in between the exhaust and intake manifold, and monitors the temperature of the exhaust gases.

Where is the EGR temperature sensor?

exhaust manifold
The EGR temperature sensor is usually mounted in the exhaust manifold or mounted near the EGR valve.

What does the EGR temperature sensor do in a car?

The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) temperature sensor is an important component that monitors the EGR gas temperature and sends the desired information to the car’s onboard computer system.

Where is the temperature sensor on the exhaust manifold?

Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) temperature sensors monitor the EGR cooler’s operation. One is on the exhaust manifold and one is near the EGR valve. Average rating from 130,525 customers who received a EGR Temperature Sensor Replacement.

Where is the EGR located on a diesel engine?

On most modern diesel engines, an EGR cooler is used to cool the temperature of the exhaust gas before it enters the engine. The PCM relies on the EGR temperature sensors to monitor the cooler’s operation. Generally, one temperature sensor is located on the exhaust manifold, and one is located near the EGR valve.

How to replace an exhaust gas recirculation ( EGR )?

Step 1: Disconnect the negative battery cable. Disconnect the negative battery cable and set it aside. Step 2: Remove the electrical connector. Remove the electrical connector by pushing down on the tab and sliding it off. Step 3: Unscrew the sensor. Unscrew the sensor using a ratchet or wrench. Remove the sensor. Step 1: Put in the new sensor.

Can a failed emissions test cause an EGR sensor to fail?

A failed emissions test is another symptom of a problem with the EGR temperature sensor. There can be instances where the sensor can fail or give a false reading and cause the EGR system to malfunction, without setting off the Check Engine Light.
