DTC P242A - Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor Circuit Bank 1 Sensor 3

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
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) 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).
Possible Causes: 
  • Exhaust leaks
  • Excessive particulate matter build up on sensor
  • Damaged EGT13 sensor
Diagnostic Aids:  Monitor the EGT13 PID between ignition ON, engine OFF and ignition ON, engine running for an indication of a concern.
