Sensor, Exhaust Temperature: Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor (EGT) operates as a typical two wire 5-Volt sensor. It sends a signal to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) monitoring the temperature of the exhaust gases in the Diesel Particulate Filter.
The EGT Sensor are located:
- 1/1 is located on the outlet of the exhaust manifold
- 1/2 is located on the inlet of the Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC)/Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)
- Catalyst Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor (1) is located between the Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) and the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)
- 1/3 is located on the inlet of Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR).
