Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor: Removal
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Ford F-550 Super Duty, 2018 Ford F-450 Super Duty, 2018 Ford F-350 Super Duty, and 2018 Ford F-250 Super Duty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
Do not use silicone based sprays or lubricants on any components installed onto or around the diesel exhaust system or intake air distribution and filtering system. Silicone reacts with the Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) sensors and may cause permanent damage to the NOx senors.
NOTE:
Removal steps in this procedure may contain installation details.
NOTE:
If necessary, lubricate the EGT sensor with penetrating and lock lubricant to ease removal.
NOTE:
Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) sensor wiring harness routing and position of retainers varies by wheelbase, frame width and length. Typical shown in illustration, others similar.
NOTE:
If the (EGT) sensor bends during installation, do not straighten the sensor. The EGT sensor will be damaged if it is straightened. Discard the sensor and install a new one.
