PN 2015 007 EGTS Wrong application
Warranty department noticed that EGTS sensors are sent in which are not defective.
Customers reported that “NTK sensor does not work, but OE sensor works”.
The problem could be traced down to wrong application.
This Technical Information explains the background and how to choose the correct part.

Wrong application chosen
Warranty department noticed that EGTS sensors are sent in which are not defective.
Customers reported that “NTK sensor does not work, but OE sensor works”.
The problem could be traced down to wrong application.
This Technical Information explains the background and how to choose the correct part.
Function principle of EGTS Sensors:
- Generally, Exhaust gas temperature sensors work by changing their resistance according to the temperature.
- There are sensors of two different function principles used by the car manufacturers: “NTC” and “PTC” Type.
- NTC: The resistance gets LOWER when the temperature gets higher
- PTC: The resistance gets HIGHER when the temperature gets higher
- Many car manufacturers use sensors of both function principles (NTC and PTC) sometimes on different positions at the same engine.
