• 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)
