Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Component Testing
The J 25070 Heat Gun 500-750°F may be used to evaluate the sensor under high temperature conditions.
Measure and record the resistance of the appropriate EGR temperature sensor and compare those measurements to the Temperature Versus Resistance (Fuel Temperature Sensor) , Temperature Versus Resistance (IAT Sensor 1) , Temperature Versus Resistance (EGT Sensors) , Temperature Versus Resistance (IAT Sensor 2) , Temperature Versus Resistance (ECT Sensors) , Temperature Versus Resistance (EGR Temperature Sensors) .
- If the resistance is not within the specified range for the known temperature, replace the B130A or B130B EGR temperature sensor.

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
