Where is the EGT sensor located?

Where is the EGT sensor located?

that voltage signal back to the engine ECU, in order to control engine conditions and effectively reduce emissions. Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensors (EGTS) are located: T3 – before the Turbocharger (TBC).

What temp is too high for EGT?

How Hot Is Too Hot? Based on our own experience in the sled pulling and drag racing world, we can definitely say that any engine running at 1,800 to 2,000 degrees EGT for more than a second or two should be rebuilt every season and may incur turbocharger, cylinder head, or piston damage during the season.

Can you clean EGT sensor?

Handle the exhaust gas temperature sensor carefully, dropping the component may cause unseen damage to the cement that secures the thermistor. 3. If the sensor is threaded, clean the thread in the exhaust pipe with a cleaning tap.

What happens if EGT gets too high?

Excessive EGT can also erode or crack the turbine housing. In extreme cases, high EGT can drive the turbocharger into an overspeed condition that exceeds the designed operating speed due to the additional heat energy. When this happens, either the turbine wheel or the compressor wheel may burst.

How do you fix a exhaust gas temperature sensor?

How do I replace an exhaust gas temperature sensor?

  1. Locate the faulty sensor.
  2. Next disconnect the electrical connector and unscrew the sensor using a socket wrench, taking care not to damage nearby components.
  3. Prepare the new sensor, applying anti-seize compound to the thread where necessary.

How do I lower my EGT temperature?

Installing aftermarket parts to help regulate exhaust gas temperatures will extend the life of the motor and assist with increased performance.

  1. Provide additional airflow to the motor by installing an aftermarket, cool air intake in place of the stock air filter.
  2. Install a free-flowing, large diameter exhaust system.

How do I know if my EGT sensor is bad?

Exhaust gas temperature sensor – Symptoms: Effects

  1. Warning lamp for glow plug system flashes.
  2. Warning lamp for particulate filter lights up.
  3. Engine control lamp is on.
  4. Increase in exhaust emissions (CO, NOx and HC)
  5. Poor driving behaviour because of shortened regeneration intervals of the particulate filter.
