Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensors (EGTS)

Precision Engineered to Champion the Independent Aftermarket

VXPRO Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensors (EGTS) are designed to meet the high thermal demands of modern emissions control systems. Built to OE-matching standards, these sensors deliver fast, accurate readings to support diesel particulate filter (DPF) regeneration, turbocharger protection, and NOx reduction strategies.

Backed by a 5-year warranty and supported by TechASSIST and StockASSIST, VXPRO EGTS give workshops the reliability, accuracy, and peace of mind needed to Champion the Aftermarket.

TechASSIST: Product Support and Information

Exhaust gas temperature sensors are essential to a wide range of emissions and powertrain systems. They: Monitor exhaust temperature before, after, and within the DPF or catalytic converter Enable precise DPF regeneration, reducing soot accumulation and preventing filter blockage Protect turbochargers and other components from thermal overload Support NOx reduction and help maintain Euro 5/6 emissions compliance Trigger limp mode or engine protection strategies if readings fall outside expected parameters With vehicles now equipped with multiple EGTS units, failure of just one sensor can disrupt emissions control and cause unnecessary component replacement.

Why Do They Fail?

EGTS units operate in extreme conditions, often measuring temperatures over 800°C. Common failure causes include:

  • Thermal cycling fatigue or failure of the internal thermistor

  • Contamination or corrosion of the sensor probe

  • Frayed or heat-damaged wiring near the exhaust manifold

  • Connector failure due to heat and vibration

  • Incorrect diagnosis, where the sensor is blamed for regeneration faults actually caused by other components

Symptoms of a Failed EGTS

  • DPF regeneration failure or frequent regeneration cycles

  • Poor fuel economy and reduced performance

  • Illuminated MIL or DPF warning lights

  • Limp mode activation or reduced engine power

  • Fault codes such as P2031, P0544, or P242A

  • Incorrect temperature readings when viewed on live data (e.g. stuck high/low or erratic)

Fitting Tips

  1. Always allow the exhaust to cool before attempting removal — sensors are often seized due to extreme heat.

  2. Use high-temperature anti-seize compound on threads if specified by the manufacturer.

  3. Avoid over-torquing — follow OE torque values to avoid shearing.

  4. Check the wiring and connectors for heat damage or cracking before reassembly.

  5. Clear codes and verify live temperature readings post-installation to ensure proper function.
