FAQs
What does an exhaust gas temperature sensor do?
It measures the temperature of gases in the exhaust system, providing critical data to the vehicle's computer (ECU) for managing the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) regeneration process and monitoring engine performance.
Why is this sensor important for the DPF?
The sensor's readings are essential for the ECU to know when to initiate DPF regeneration (burning off soot). If the sensor is faulty, regeneration may not occur correctly, leading to filter clogging and potential damage.
How do I know if my exhaust temperature sensor is failing?
Common signs include the DPF warning light illuminating, reduced engine power, increased fuel consumption, and sometimes rough idling or engine misfires.
Can I replace the sensor myself?
While replacement is possible for those with mechanical experience, it is recommended to have it installed by a qualified mechanic to ensure correct fitting and avoid further damage.
What is the thread size and spanner size for this sensor?
The thread size is M12 x 1.25, and the required spanner size for removal and installation is 14mm.
Is this sensor compatible with all Ford Transit models?
No, this sensor is specifically designed for the Ford Transit V363 with the 2.2 TDCi engine, model years 2014 onwards. Always verify compatibility with your specific vehicle.
What should I do after installing the new sensor?
After installation, start the vehicle and check for any warning lights. It is often advisable to have the vehicle's computer scanned with a diagnostic tool to clear any old fault codes and confirm the new sensor is functioning correctly.
Troubleshooting
Check Engine Light or DPF Warning Light is on.
This could indicate a faulty sensor. Verify the sensor's electrical connection is secure. If the issue persists, the sensor may need replacement. A diagnostic scan is recommended to confirm error codes.
Reduced engine power or limp mode.
This is often a consequence of DPF issues, potentially caused by a faulty temperature sensor. Check for related error codes and inspect the sensor's readings with a diagnostic tool.
Poor fuel economy.
An inaccurate temperature reading can prevent proper DPF regeneration, leading to increased fuel consumption. Ensure the sensor is correctly installed and functioning.
Sensor does not fit.
Double-check that your vehicle model and year match the product's specifications. Verify that the part number corresponds to your vehicle's requirements.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This sensor is specifically designed for the Ford Transit V363 with the 2.2 TDCi engine, model years 2014 onwards. Please verify your vehicle's engine size and model year, and compare the sensor's part numbers (BK3A12B591CB, 1818708, 2267336) with your existing sensor before purchasing.
Setup:
- Safety First: Ensure the vehicle is turned off and the exhaust system is completely cool.
- Locate Sensor: Identify the existing exhaust gas temperature sensor in the exhaust system, typically located before or within the DPF.
- Disconnect: Carefully disconnect the electrical connector from the old sensor.
- Remove Old Sensor: Using the appropriate spanner size (14mm), unscrew the old sensor. Be prepared for minor residual exhaust.
- Install New Sensor: Screw the new D2P sensor into place, ensuring a snug fit. Do not overtighten.
- Connect: Reconnect the electrical connector securely.
- Test: Start the vehicle and check for any warning lights. A diagnostic scan may be necessary to clear any previous error codes.
Care: This is a sealed electronic component. Avoid direct exposure to high-pressure water or corrosive cleaning agents. Regular checks for exhaust leaks around the sensor fitting are recommended.
