Wi | 1586 - 11/27/2013 16:04 When were EGT sensors part of emissions? Never have been........
They are part of the emissions controls, they monitor the temperature of the exhaust for cleansing purposes. They never had them before, now they do. You don't need 4 for any reason other than emissions.
The shut down is a safety precaution. When the sensor fails and reads max temp it shuts the engine down to protect it because it thinks the EGT's are way too high. They will flash the message "Stop Safely Now" but it usually shuts off faster than you can stop.
If you let the computer reset for 30 minutes or an hour it will restart again and you will be on your way until it acts up again. You cannot cycle the key at all during this time.
Ford is having a lot of problems with these sensors. The shut down is aggravating but if the EGT's truely did get out of wack then that shut down may have saved your engine. |
Ford 6.7 WARNING. Better read this.
