Exhaust gas temperature sensor

The exhaust gas temperature sensor is an important component of modern exhaust systems and measures the temperature of the exhaust gases in the exhaust stream. The measured values are transmitted to the engine control unit and help to optimally control various systems such as the turbocharger, diesel particulate filter (DPF), or SCR exhaust aftertreatment.

Depending on the vehicle model, the sensor is located at different points in the exhaust system, for example, before or after the turbocharger, before the diesel particulate filter, or in the area of the catalytic converter. The precise temperature measurement allows the engine control unit to regulate important processes such as diesel particulate filter regeneration or the control of exhaust aftertreatment.

Exhaust gas temperature sensors are made of heat-resistant materials and are specifically designed for extremely high temperatures in the exhaust system. They continuously provide measurements that are necessary for efficient engine operation and compliance with emission limits.

A faulty exhaust gas temperature sensor can lead to error messages in the vehicle, reduced engine performance, or problems with exhaust aftertreatment. Therefore, the proper functioning of this sensor is crucial for modern engine and exhaust systems.
