What is the EGR Temperature Sensor all about?

Vehicle manufacturers have been required for decades to lower the level of car emissions. One of the earliest methods of pollution control was the exhaust gas recirculation system, which is still in use by nearly all vehicles today. The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system re-introduces partially burned exhaust gases into the intake manifold along with the air/fuel mixture to complete its burn before being expelled out the tailpipe and into the atmosphere.

The EGR valve opens and closes to regulate the amount of exhaust to allow into the intake. The EGR temperature sensor is mounted in the EGR tube and measures the temperature of the exhaust gases entering the EGR valve. The engine control module receives the information from the EGR temperature sensor, determines the correct amount of flow through the EGR valve, and adjusts the valve accordingly. If the EGR temperature sensor isn’t reading properly, the EGR valve will not be open in the correct position. It can cause engine knock, which will cause internal engine damage. The Check Engine light can come on with EGR system-related codes and the emissions from the tailpipe will exceed the maximum standards set by your state’s smog/emissions test.

Keep in mind:

  • If the EGR temperature sensor is being replaced, check for proper operation of the EGR valve as well.
  • The EGR temperature sensor is extremely hot while the engine is on. Allow the engine to cool before attempting to inspect or service the temperature sensor.

How it's done:

  • The EGR temperature sensor is verified that it needs to be replaced. The engine top trim cover is removed.

  • The defective EGR temperature sensor is removed by disconnecting the electrical connection and removing the sensor from the EGR base or tube.

  • The new EGR temperature sensor is installed into the EGR tube and the electrical connection is reconnected.

  • The engine is started and the EGR temperature sensor is tested for operation. The engine trim cover is reinstalled.

  • The vehicle is road tested to ensure proper operation of the EGR temperature sensor.

Our recommendation:

The EGR temperature sensor should last the lifetime of your vehicle. It would be advisable to have the EGR system scanned when a smog test is performed, especially if the test fails. If the EGR temperature sensor is reading incorrectly, one of our expert technicians will need to replace it.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the EGR Temperature Sensor?

  • Audible engine knock
  • Check Engine light is on
  • Failed emissions or smog test

How important is this service?

If left unaddressed, the engine knock caused by a faulty EGR temperature sensor will produce internal engine damage which can only be fixed through expensive repairs. You will likely fail a smog test with a faulty EGR temperature sensor. If the EGR temperature sensor fails, have it replaced quickly.

Mazda MX-5 Miata L4-2.0L - Check Engine Light is on - Los Angeles, California
I posted this on YELP~ This was the most stressful car repair experience I have ever had. My MAzda Miata Mx-5 check engine light was on and I already knew it was one of two codes relating to fuel injection. I called last Wed. and scheduled an apt for Monday 100 pm. Monday 115- no mechanic.I called & the man told me he would call me right back....2 hrs later I called again. The woman said she would call me right back. No call Back. After wasting the entire day waiting, I left feedback on Facebook. I was told that they had called me back.I'm staring at my phone - no calls. I leave more feedback.I am told Kevin will come at 700 and I need to call again to confirm that is ok.I call and say fine though by this time I am wary it will turn out well. The woman on the phone insists I give her my VIN number and I cannot understand why, I question her, saying he is checking codes and then deciding what part he needs, so why would you need to call Mazda with my VIN Number. She gets testy and demands it, I go retrieve it outside. I tell her and she says So what part do you want me to order? I say how would I know the mechanic did not come yet! She gets frustrated with me as if I wasted her time. I get an email telling me Kevin is coming to a different address than is on my profile & the address I have told them I live at. I go for a walk because I am so upset that everything is turning out so badly I'm wondering if I stopped making sense. Kevin calls 4 times, he came early, he's sitting at the end of the street as they gave him the wrong address/n. . He is the nicest mechanic I have ever met. He quickly checks the code. He tells me there is NO WAY it can be done by YourMECHANIC- the car needs to be raised in the air and smoke needs to be blown thru the pipes to show where the leak is.Whoever does this will check the codes again, thats how it goes. SO I wasted my entire day and my money on something that could not be done out of a shop. Today I get an email with my receipt and Service Report. .I click the link - it says: The page you were looking for does not exist. You may have mistyped the address or the page may have moved. Today I feel more centered knowing it is not me who has stopped making sense, I can find a mechanic that communicates in a manner other Humans do and next time my money will not be completely wasted. So Maddy M of YOURMECHANIC said sorry they couldnt do the work - I said what about the other many many many mistakes from last wed. to the final mistake with the blank service email on Tuesday. I would like a refund as I already had the codes and I could have been told the very first time I called that this job could not be done at my house , that it needed to be done in a shop.
