A faulty exhaust gas temperature (EGT) sensor can cause several symptoms related to engine performance, fuel efficiency, and emissions control. Here are the key symptoms:
Reduced Engine Power
Increased Fuel Consumption
Emissions and Diagnostic Issues
Sensor-Specific Fault Codes
Diagnostic Tip: Use an OBD scanner to check real-time sensor data and compare it with expected temperature curves. An infrared thermometer can help verify if the sensor is reporting inaccurately.1
If these symptoms appear, prompt diagnosis and repair are recommended to prevent potential engine damage.
