Temperature Sensor

Exhaust temperature sensors are essential for keeping your truck running at the proper temperatures, preventing damage to sensitive parts and making the most of every gallon of fuel. Our original aftermarket sensors match the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts while enhancing the performance of many popular truck brands.

These parts measure the temperature of outgoing exhaust gases to keep your emissions system functioning properly. Make sure your truck is getting a smooth fuel injection curve and isn't wasting fuel or failing emissions testing with temperature sensors from Truck Pipes USA.

How Do Your Exhaust Temperature Sensors Support Reliable Performance?

Controlling the fuel injection rate is essential for engine performance and clean exhaust. Today's exhaust management systems rely on temperature sensors to properly manage regeneration cycles to burn off soot and purify the exhaust. 

Your truck's electronic control unit (ECU) is responsible for handling injection profiles. It uses temperature information from sensors to adjust the fuel and air mixture, managing emissions and protecting components from the diesel particulate filter (DPF) to sensitive variable geometry turbos. 

A temperature sensor is specific to the exhaust system. The sensor may need to fit into one of the exhaust pipes, or closer to the turbo unit or DPF. Choosing the right sensor is a matter of checking the specifics of your truck's make and model.

 When sensors wear out or become faulty, they can send incorrect signals that lead to poor engine performance or failed emissions tests. Choose replacement parts that are identical to the original sensors to pass inspections and get the performance you expect from your truck.

Which Trucks Do We Carry Temperature Sensors For?

We stock a wide range of exhaust temperature sensors, including models designed to fit trucks and buses from popular manufacturers such as:

• Renault
• Volvo
• Freightliner
• Detroit Diesel
• Cummins
• Paccar

Check the OEM part number for your particular make and model, then review the product description to make sure you're getting a perfect fit.

What Happens When Exhaust Temperature Sensors Go Bad?

If the temperature sensors for your exhaust system stop functioning properly, a number of issues can result. You might notice your fuel economy dropping first, even when you stick to the same fuel-saving techniques as always. 

Next, you're likely to see changes in the color of your exhaust, from white to dark black smoke, depending on how the sensor is failing. If you don't replace the exhaust temperature sensor in time, you may start receiving Check Engine lights or codes. 

Your engine may start idling roughly or accelerate more slowly than usual. Those two problems can pose safety hazards in particular. Finally, the ECU may switch to the derate mode and limit you to a mere crawl until you repair the problem. Prompt sensor replacements prevent all of these issues and more.
