FAQs

What vehicles is this Hella Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor compatible with?

This sensor is designed for specific Ford models: Galaxy, Mondeo, and S-Max. Always confirm compatibility with your vehicle's specifications.

Where is this sensor located in the vehicle?

The sensor is installed in the exhaust system, specifically before the soot particulate filter (DPF).

Can I install this sensor myself?

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.

What are the OEM part numbers this sensor replaces?

This Hella sensor replaces Ford OEM part numbers 1681281, AG9112B591AA, and AV6112B591AA.

What is the function of an exhaust gas temperature sensor?

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).

What is the cable length of this sensor?

The cable length for this sensor is 835mm.

How do I know if my exhaust gas temperature sensor needs replacement?

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.

Troubleshooting

Check Engine Light (Emissions related) illuminated

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.

Reduced engine performance or fuel economy

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.

DPF warning light active

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.

Sensor wiring damaged

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.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Ensures accurate exhaust temperature readings for optimal engine performance.
  • Designed for specific Ford models, facilitating proper fitment.
  • Helps maintain the efficiency and longevity of the particulate filter.
  • Durable construction suitable for the harsh exhaust environment.

Cons

  • Requires professional installation by qualified personnel.
  • Compatibility limited to specific Ford Galaxy, Mondeo, and S-Max models.
  • Not a DIY replacement part for beginners.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

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.
