Zibbix Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) Sensor Ford 6.4L 2008-2010

Zibbix Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor Ford 6.4L 2008-2010.

The 6.4L Ford has three EGT sensors in the exhaust after-treatment. Pre-Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC), Post DOC, Post Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). 

When you have a EGT sensor failure you should replace all 3 sensor in the exhaust to prevent frequent breakdowns. Most failures will result in a limp home mode and or a message on the instrument cluster advising you to slow down and pull over. This usually happens at the worst time when you are pulling a trailer or loading the engine heavily. 

Ford also has an updated PCM calibration to improve EGT failure modes and reduce limp mode when possible. 

The EGT sensors are a common failure and will often result in trouble codes such as:

• P2080 - Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor Circuit Range / Performance Bank 1 Sensor 1

This error occurs if the EGT1 temperature sensor signal in the exhaust at key on, following an 8-hour soak, is significantly different than ambient temperature.

• P2081 - Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor Circuit Intermittent Bank 1 Sensor 1

This error occurs if the temperature in the exhaust at key on, following an 8-hour soak, is significantly different than ambient temperature.

• P2084 - Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor Circuit Range / Performance Bank 1 Sensor 2

This error occurs if the EGT2 temperature sensor signal in the exhaust at key on, following an 8-hour soak, is significantly different than ambient temperature.

• P2085 - Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor Circuit Intermittent Bank 1 Sensor 2

This error occurs if an intermittent signal from the exhaust gas temperature sensor is detected.

• P242A - Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor Circuit Bank 1 Sensor 3

This error occurs if the EGT3 temperature signal of the exhaust system does not rise sufficiently immediately after a cold-start following an 8-hour soak.

• P242B - Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor Circuit Range/ Performance Bank 1 Sensor 3

This error occurs if the EGT3 temperature sensor signal in the exhaust at key on, following an 8-hour soak, is significantly different than ambient temperature.

• P242C - Exhaust Gas TemperatureSensor Circuit Low Bank 1 Sensor 3

This error occurs when the EGT3 sensor temperature signal is higher (lower voltage signal) than a maximum probable temperature, indicating a short to ground.

• P242D - Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor Circuit High Bank 1 Sensor 3

This error occurs when the EGT3 sensor temperature signal is lower (higher voltage signal) than a minimum probable temperature, indicating an open circuit or a short to power.

• P242E - Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor Circuit Intermittent Bank 1 Sensor 3

This error occurs if an intermittent signal from the exhaust gas temperature sensor is detected.
