Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor Circuit (Bank 2 Sensor 2)

Common Symptoms

  • Check engine light illuminated
  • Increased fuel consumption
  • Reduced engine power or performance
  • DPF regeneration issues or failures
  • Exhaust system warning messages
  • Poor cold start performance

Most Likely Root Causes

  • Faulty exhaust gas temperature sensor
  • Damaged or corroded sensor wiring harness
  • Exhaust leaks near sensor location
  • Failed sensor connector or terminals
  • ECM software calibration issue

Full step-by-step tests, DVOM guidance, and pinout data are available inside the AI Diesel Tech diagnostic session.

Component Location

The exhaust gas temperature sensor Bank 2 Sensor 2 is located in the exhaust system downstream of the catalytic converter on the Bank 2 side of the engine.

Manufacturer Notes

Diesel engines with DPF systems may see this code more frequently due to high exhaust temperatures affecting sensor longevity.

Also diagnosing J1939 SPN/FMI codes?

Heavy-duty trucks often throw both OBD-II and J1939 faults simultaneously. AI Diesel Tech handles both protocols in a single guided session.
