DTC P242A: EXHAUST GAS TEMPERATURE SENSOR CIRCUIT BANK 1 SENSOR 3
| Description: | The PCM monitors the operation of the exhaust gas temperature bank 1, sensor 3 (EGT13) sensor to determine if the EGT13 sensor responds to the increase in temperature of the exhaust gas during vehicle operation. The PCM then compares the measured temperature to a modeled value. This DTC sets when, after 5 minutes of driving, following a 6 hour soak, the EGT13 sensor temperature does not correlate to the modeled temperature of 130°C (266°F). | ||
