2011-2016 6.7L Ford EGT Exhaust Temperature Sensor AC3Z5J213C

!Before installation, confirm that:
To avoid severe burns, please ensure the engine and exhaust system have completely cooled down before installation. Wear safety goggles during installation to prevent debris from entering your eyes. You are solely responsible for any damage or injury caused by improper installation.


This is the installation process for the ER-0336: 2011-2016 6.7L Ford EGT Exhaust Temperature Sensor AC3Z5J213C,provided for your reference during installation.

Step 1:
Since the sensor is in direct contact with the exhaust pipe, ensure the engine is completely cooled before proceeding. To prevent electrical short circuits, it is recommended to disconnect the negative battery cable first.

Step 2:
Determine the installation location. This is typically situated at the drain tube inside the passenger-side wheel arch, at the inlet of the DOC, or at the inlet or outlet of the DPF. If you are replacing EGT 11, it is recommended that you first remove the inner fender liner on the passenger side; this provides a clear line of sight to the sensor and allows for a better angle to apply leverage.

Step 3:
Before disassembly, spray a generous amount of penetrating lubricant onto the threads of the old sensor.

Step 4:
Locate the sensor's electrical connector. Disconnect the black electrical plug. Be careful not to pull forcefully on the wiring harness, as this could damage the vehicle-side socket.

Step 5:
Use a 13mm wrench to loosen the sensor by turning it counter-clockwise. If the sensor is seized due to rust and cannot be turned, try gently tightening it slightly first before attempting to loosen it; alternatively, you may use a torch to apply localized heat to the mounting boss on the exhaust pipe.

Step 6:
Apply a small amount of high-temperature anti-seize compound to the threads of the new sensor. Crucially, ensure that the anti-seize compound does not come into contact with the sensor's probe tip, as this will result in inaccurate readings.

Step 7:
Thread the new sensor into the exhaust pipe boss by hand. Hand-tightening first ensures proper thread alignment and prevents cross-threading. Use a 13mm wrench to tighten it down. Do not overtighten, as this could make future replacements difficult or cause the mounting boss to crack.

Step 8:
Plug the electrical connector into the vehicle-side socket, ensuring that the wiring harness is routed away from any moving parts or sources of extreme heat.
