This is a Genuine Nissan Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) sensor for the Nissan Navara D40 and Pathfinder R51 models fitted with the YD25 engine. Located in the exhaust system directly in front of the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF), this sensor's critical function is to accurately measure exhaust gas temperatures. This data is sent to the ECU to manage the DPF's self-cleaning cycle, known as regeneration. Due to constant exposure to extreme heat cycles and exhaust contaminants, these sensors are a common failure point that can lead to DPF issues.
A faulty EGT sensor can cause engine warning lights, put the vehicle into limp mode, and prevent the DPF from regenerating, which can lead to a complete blockage. This sensor features the male-style electrical plug;
Please check your existing sensor to confirm this is the correct part before ordering.
Installation is a straightforward task for a confident DIY mechanic or a quick job for a professional workshop. However, the old sensor can often be seized in the exhaust housing due to heat and corrosion, requiring care during removal. While no other specific parts are required, applying a quality high-temperature anti-seize compound to the new sensor's threads is highly recommended to make any future removal easier.
