It measures how hot the exhaust gases from the engine are before and after they go through the selective catalytic reduction system in the exhaust system. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/engine-control-module\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"powertrain control module\">powertrain control module<\/a> (PCM) uses the readings from the EGT sensor to adjust the amount of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/diesel-exhaust-fluid\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"diesel exhaust fluid\">diesel exhaust fluid<\/a> (DEF) that needs to be added to the exhaust stream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the PCM receives a voltage signal from the exhaust gas temperature sensor that indicates an impossibly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/what-is-the-normal-temperature-of-engine-oil\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"high temperature\">high temperature<\/a>, it will log the P2471 code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Does the P2471 Code Mean?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/search-obd2-codes-list\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"diagnostic trouble code\">diagnostic trouble code<\/a> (DTC) P2471 indicates &ldquo;Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor Circuit High Bank 1 Sensor 4.&rdquo;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Exhaust gas temperature sensors (EGT) are a type of resistance temperature detector. When the temperature of the exhaust gas increases, their electrical resistance increases. Conversely, their resistance goes down when the gas gets cooler. They keep track of the temperature of the exhaust gases produced by the engine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/p2471-egt-sensor-1024x602.jpg\" alt=\"p2471 egt sensor\" class=\"wp-image-80731\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/p2471-egt-sensor-1024x602.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/p2471-egt-sensor-300x176.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/p2471-egt-sensor-768x452.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/p2471-egt-sensor-1536x904.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/p2471-egt-sensor-150x88.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/p2471-egt-sensor.jpg 1700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Exhaust gas temperature sensors (EGT) are a type of resistance temperature detector.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>EGT sensors monitor the temperature of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/diesel-particulate-filter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"diesel particulate filter\">diesel particulate filter<\/a> (DPF) as a part of &ldquo;regeneration&rdquo; timing. Regeneration is the clearing of soot from the DPF, which is done by superheating the particulate filter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This exhaust temperature sensor feedback signal is used to control regeneration temperature. Three or more EGT sensors may be used, with sensor(s) before the DPF and after the DPF. Make sure you&rsquo;re working on the right sensor before checking or changing parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some diesel vehicles have a diesel particulate filter that burns particles in the exhaust gas, turning them into harmless substances. Like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/catalytic-converter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"catalytic converter\">catalytic converter<\/a> in gas vehicles, the DPF needs a certain temperature to work properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To increase the temperature of the DPF, the PCM orders the injection of diesel exhaust fluid into the exhaust stream. Along with the reductant catalyst, the sufficiently heated DPF can efficiently get rid of nitrous oxide emissions in the exhaust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The PCM regularly checks the EGT sensors. If the controller doesn&rsquo;t get the right response from the number four sensor on bank one, it will set the generic code P2471.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Important Note About Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While code P2471 refers to the exhaust gas temperature sensors measuring exhaust flow into the diesel particulate filter, it&rsquo;s important to note that some diesel engines will have a different exhaust gas temperature sensor as a part of their EGR systems. This sensor is referred to as an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/egr-temperature-sensor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"EGR temperature sensor\">EGR temperature sensor<\/a>, which is similar in operation, but has a different purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/p2471-egr-temperature-sensor-1024x602.jpg\" alt=\"p2471 egr temperature sensor\" class=\"wp-image-80732\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/p2471-egr-temperature-sensor-1024x602.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/p2471-egr-temperature-sensor-300x176.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/p2471-egr-temperature-sensor-768x452.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/p2471-egr-temperature-sensor-1536x904.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/p2471-egr-temperature-sensor-150x88.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/p2471-egr-temperature-sensor.jpg 1700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">It&rsquo;s important to note that some diesel engines will have a different exhaust gas temperature sensor as a part of their EGR systems.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Both the EGR temp sensors and the exhaust gas temp sensors are measuring exhaust temperature, but the platforms using EGR temp sensors measure the temperature of the gas entering the EGR cooler. This type system has an additional sensor measuring exhaust gas temperature as it leaves the EGR cooler. This exhaust gas is directed into the combustion chambers to reduce NOx emissions rather than being sent directly to the diesel particulate filter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ford requires a check of engine oil and coolant levels, and the following before checking the sensor or circuit:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Exhaust leaks at flanges and gaskets<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Punctures or cracks in the catalyst<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Punctures or cracks in the diesel particulate filter<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Engine coolant or oil contamination<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Note:<\/em><\/strong><em> The definition of code P2471 can differ according to the vehicle manufacturer.
