P0544 - EXHAUST GAS TEMPERATURE SENSOR CIRCUIT - BANK 1 SENSOR 1
| Description: The powertrain control module (PCM) monitors the operation of the exhaust gas temperature (EGT) sensor to determine if the EGT 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. The test fails when after 5 minutes of driving, following a 6 hour soak, the EGT sensor temperature does not correlate to the modeled temperature of 170°C (338°F). | |||
Possible Causes:
|
|||
| Diagnostic Aids: Monitor the EGT11 PID between key ON, engine OFF and key ON, engine running for an indication of a concern. | |||
| Application | Key On Engine Off | Key On Engine Running | Continuous Memory |
| All | GO to PINPOINT TEST RC . | ||
