This sensor is designed for specific Ford models: Galaxy, Mondeo, and S-Max. Always confirm compatibility with your vehicle's specifications.
The sensor is installed in the exhaust system, specifically before the soot particulate filter (DPF).
No, installation should only be performed by qualified automotive personnel due to the critical nature of its placement in the exhaust system and the need for precise calibration.
This Hella sensor replaces Ford OEM part numbers 1681281, AG9112B591AA, and AV6112B591AA.
It measures the temperature of the exhaust gases, providing crucial data to the engine control unit (ECU) for managing engine performance, fuel efficiency, and emissions control systems like the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF).
The cable length for this sensor is 835mm.
Symptoms can include a Check Engine Light, illuminated DPF warning light, reduced engine power, poor fuel economy, or failed emissions tests. A diagnostic scan is usually required to confirm a faulty sensor.
This could indicate a faulty sensor or wiring issue. A diagnostic scan will reveal specific error codes (e.g., P0544-P0549 range) pointing to exhaust gas temperature sensor circuit issues. Professional diagnosis is required.
Incorrect exhaust gas temperature readings can lead the ECU to make suboptimal fuel/air mixture adjustments or fail to initiate DPF regeneration. Check for diagnostic trouble codes and inspect the sensor and its connection.
If the sensor is not accurately reporting exhaust temperatures, the DPF may not regenerate properly. A professional diagnostic check of the sensor's live data is recommended.
Inspect the wiring harness for any signs of abrasion, cuts, or corrosion. If damaged, the wiring may need repair or replacement by a qualified technician. Ensure the connector is clean and secure.
Compatibility: This sensor is specifically engineered for Ford Galaxy, Mondeo, and S-Max models. Always verify compatibility with your vehicle's VIN and existing part numbers (OEM 1681281, AG9112B591AA, AV6112B591AA) before purchase.
Setup (Installation): Installation of the Hella Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor (6PT010376-581) must be performed by a qualified automotive technician. This involves safely accessing the exhaust system, removing the old sensor, and securely installing the new one using the bolted mounting type. Proper torque specifications and electrical connection of the 2-pin connector are essential. Incorrect installation can lead to exhaust leaks, sensor malfunction, or damage to the vehicle's emissions system.
Care: As a sensor integrated into the exhaust system, no routine user maintenance is typically required. However, it is important to ensure the area around the sensor remains free from excessive dirt and debris during vehicle servicing. If the sensor or its wiring is damaged due to external impact, it should be inspected and replaced by a professional.
