Motorcraft EGTS17 Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor EGT

The Motorcraft EGTS17 is a genuine OEM exhaust gas temperature (EGT) sensor designed for precise temperature monitoring in the exhaust system. This sensor measures exhaust pipe temperature and sends critical information to the engine control unit (ECU) to ensure protection against overheating and monitor diesel particulate filter (DPF) cleaning.

Key Features:

• Located at the catalytic converter for 3.2L engines, in the lower EGR components position
• Direct OEM replacement ensures proper fit and function
• Engineered by Ford Motor Company for Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles
• Backed by Ford Motorcraft limited warranty
• No specialized tools required for installation

Exhaust gas temperature sensors play a vital role in modern emission control systems. The EGT sensor protects the catalytic converter from excessive heat damage while helping optimize engine performance and fuel efficiency. When this sensor fails, the check engine light will illuminate, signaling the need for replacement to maintain proper emissions system operation.
