EGR Temp Sensor P1401 - Testing and Replacement

[@jeffthiemann-o1k]

2000 Quest. no trouble code. sensor has infinite resistance even when heated. hopefully this will solve my NOx failure with my emission test. all other items in EGR system appear good. Great video-thanks!

[@vkpc1]

Very informative and helpful video

Heat up some woooder!, same accent as chrisfix :') Awesome!

Thanks man appreciate it

I can chime in that I had 1400 and it was the temp sensor which get covered in velvety deposits. I unscrewed it and wiped it off and its fine. The code went out and the van never ran better. However a month later I developed a new problem code 1401--EGR signal too high--which I would release the key and the engine would drop to about 200 then ran fine in a couple seconds. That turned out to be the BOOST SENSOR. I replaced it with a junkyard one and instant fix and is perfect. Moral of the story is just like I had researched that the odds are SLIM--its the egr valve--its the various sensors that control it. The fact I had the 2 egr problems relates to the fact that the sensors do reach their life expectancy.

Veri nice bro

thank you

Awesome video !!!!

[@CarsNToys]

Glad you enjoyed it

the little Wi-Fi symbol is NOT for Ohms/Continuity. The little Wi-Fi symbol is for an Audible indication for continuity. The symbol for Continuity is the little Omega symbol next to the Wi-Fi symbol. If you are looking for a specific amount of Resistance the sound mean nothing.

Hi! I just replace the whole EGR valve now it's saying my EGR temperature sensor circuit high p0406 what does that mean I have to replace the temperature sensor as well

[@CarsNToys]

Check all connections and hoses. Maybe something is loose or not connected.

[@Tamiya8584]

I have the exact same problem

[@1970PMD]

Which scale on the ohms selector did you use? 20000K, 2000K, 200K, 20K. I can only get a read out on the 20000K scale, the others read 1. How low does the resistance have to go when it heats up? Mine starts at 2000 when cold and slowly moves to the hundreds (300) or less when it heats up. Not sure it should be that low. Suggestions? Thank you. Thumbs up.

[@squirrelbong]

im not OP but I just watched another video and the guy said it should be around 80 ohms in boiling water. try this kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHLXc359qJaqe9k

[@milek021]

what about P1402 on EGR for ford 1.6tdci (PSA HDI engine) ? Any idea... it's quite of job to take it off and even harder to put it back :)

[@fact_with_travel]

What about P0405 on EGR TEMP SENSOR (G98) in Skoda fabia diesel 1.2 tdi pls help me.......

[@americanista1993]

I'm getting no reading from temp sensor is that a bad sensor?

[@hereandnow8578]

Did you ever find out if your sensor was good or bad?

[@bihlover80s33]

I have a 1999 nissan pathfinder . Yesturday I have check engine light came on and when I came home I checked the code which is PO1401 . Google says its the error code fore EGR valeve Solenoid , something like that. So what should I do. I know once I get to egr temperature sensor I can check the solenoid but do you think I should just replace both egr valve solenoid and temperature sensor. . Thanks in advance.

[@CarsNToys]

I'd start by checking the EGR valve. I show a number of options on how to test the egr valve here (it's pretty quick)- kzbin.info/www/bejne/rIbdaIJvgJZ-Zrc If the egr valve is good, I'd check the egr temp sensor next. Send us an email to [e-mail] if you need additional help. Good luck!

[@bentocaetano1411]

Location for nissan navara temperatures sensor

[@TheRedHandOfVictory]

Shouldn't this test work if you leave it installed in the vehicle? The warmer the car gets the less voltage you'd see???

[@Pimpasxx]

Not a voltage. Resistance

[@tonycotta6602]

DTC CODE P1401 IS A DPFE SENSOR NOT A TEMP. SENSOR

[@migueltopete14]

Can that make my temperature gauge don't work correctly?

[@CarsNToys]

I'm afraid not. This has nothing to due with the temp gauge in the gauge cluster.

[@Haroldsalazarindiglosv]

that error should not be the DPEF sensor?

[@peterspano4550]

Thank you
