Aftertreatment Gas Temperature Sensor https://quickserve.cummins.com/qs3/pubsys2/xml/en/procedures/31/3...

General Information
The Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensors (1) are located in
the exhaust muffler on either side of the catalyst brick.

The temperature sensors are part of the aftertreatment

system and are used to monitor the catalyst inlet and outlet
temperatures.

Remove
CAUTION

The Exhaust Catalyst will stay hot to touch for long

periods of time after the engine has been turned off.

Lift up on the locking tab and pull the electrical connectors

apart.

Disconnect the exhaust gas temperature sensor from OEM

wiring harness.

Loosen the retaining nut and remove the exhaust gas

temperature sensor from the exhaust catalyst.

Clean and Inspect for Reuse

Inspect the exhaust gas temperature sensors for damage
to wiring or body.

Inspect the tip of the exhaust gas temperature sensor for

damage and carbon build up

Install
Apply anti-sieze compound to the sensor threads of the
exhaust gas temperature sensor.

Make sure the exhaust gas temperature sensors are

connected to the correct position on the OEM wiring
harness. Swapped inlet and outlet temperature sensors
will result in active fault codes.

Push the sensor and sensor harness connectors together

until they lock.

Tighten the nut that secures the sensor to the after-

treatment system.
