Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) Sensor
The exhaust gas temperature (EGT) sensor is a thermistor inserted into the exhaust gas stream. The sensor provides exhaust
temperature information to the PCM.
The EGT sensor is located in the lower port side of the exhaust manifold, above the lower exhaust tube and below the electrical
panel.

EGT Sensor Test
Monitor the exhaust gas temperature (data item EGT) on the CDS G3 Live Data screen. With the engine cold and not running,
exhaust gas temperature should be approximately the same as the ambient air temperature. After the engine is started, the
temperature sensor should indicate a rise in temperature.
