EGR Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation
The EGR sensor is a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor. NTC means that the resistance of the thermistor decreases as the sensed temperature increases. The ECM applies
5 volts to pin 1 of the sensor and monitors the voltage across the sensor pin to ground. The theoretical full voltage range is from
5 to
O volts representing maximum cold to maximum hot. Typically with the engine running at
2000 rpm the sensor voltage will drop
0.1 volt when the EGR valve is opened.
