DESCRIPTION

B0027TKE01
*1 No. 4 Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor
*2 Exhaust Gas
*3 SCR Catalyst

The No. 4 exhaust gas temperature sensor is installed after the SCR catalyst to detect the exhaust gas temperature. A thermistor built into the No. 4 exhaust gas temperature sensor changes its resistance value according to the exhaust gas temperature. The lower the exhaust gas temperature, the higher the thermistor resistance value. The higher the exhaust gas temperature, the lower the thermistor resistance value. The No. 4 exhaust gas temperature sensor is connected to the ECM. The 5 V power source voltage is applied to the No. 4 exhaust gas temperature sensor from terminal THSO via resistor R.

Resistor R and the No. 4 exhaust gas temperature sensor are connected in series. When the resistance value of the No. 4 exhaust gas temperature sensor changes in accordance with the exhaust gas temperature, the voltage at terminal THSO also changes. The No. 4 exhaust gas temperature sensor monitors the temperature downstream of the SCR catalyst.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The ECM constantly monitors the output voltages from the No. 4 exhaust gas temperature sensors in order to detect problems with the sensors. When the sensor output voltage deviates from the normal operating range (between 0.11 V and 4.89 V) for more than 3 seconds after the engine is warmed up, the ECM interprets this as malfunction of the sensor circuit and illuminates the MIL.

Tech Tips

Read freeze frame data using the GTS. Freeze frame data records the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
