Exhaust gas temperature sensor

The exhaust gas temperature (EGT) sensor is a crucial component in modern automotive systems, ensuring your vehicle runs efficiently and within safe temperature limits. This auto part, found in our online car spare parts store, measures the temperature of exhaust gases as they exit the engine. The EGT sensor is typically installed in the exhaust manifold or the exhaust pipe, directly before the catalytic converter.

The primary function of the exhaust gas temperature sensor is to monitor the heat of the exhaust gases, which helps the engine control unit (ECU) manage the engine’s performance. By providing real-time data on exhaust temperatures, the sensor ensures that the engine operates within safe limits, preventing overheating and potential damage to sensitive components like the turbocharger or catalytic converter. Excessive exhaust temperatures can lead to reduced engine efficiency, increased emissions, and even costly repairs if not addressed promptly.

In terms of damage, the EGT sensor can suffer from issues such as contamination from exhaust deposits, physical damage due to engine vibrations, or electrical faults from wiring wear and tear.
