DTC P2032 or P2033

The exhaust gas temperature sensors are variable resistors that measures the temperature of the exhaust gas. The exhaust gas temperature sensor 1 is located in the exhaust pipe after the catalyst. The exhaust gas temperature 2 sensor is located in the exhaust gas particulate filter. The engine control module (ECM) supplies 5 V to the exhaust gas temperature signal circuit and supplies a ground to the low reference circuit. The exhaust gas temperature sensor temperature information is used by the ECM during the exhaust gas particulate filter cleaning process.

The following table illustrates the difference between temperature, resistance, and voltage:

P2032

The ECM detects that the exhaust gas temperature sensor is less than 0.1 V for greater than 1 s.

P2033

The ECM detects that the exhaust gas temperature sensor is greater than 4.9 V for greater than 1 s.

DTCs P2032 and P2033 are Type A DTCs.

DTCs P2032 and P2033 are Type A DTCs.

1. Engine running, observe the DTC information with a scan tool. DTCs P2032, or P2033 should not set.
2. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC to verify the DTC does not reset. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the B131B Exhaust Temperature Sensor 2.
2. Test for less than 5 Ω between the low reference circuit terminal 1 and ground.

⇒	If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.

3. Disconnect the harness connector at the cooling fan.
4. Ignition ON, verify the scan tool Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor 2 parameter is at 5 V.

⇒	If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.

Note: If the fuse in the jumper wire opens, the signal circuit is shorted to a voltage and the sensor may be damaged.

5. Install a 1 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 2 and ground. Verify the scan tool Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor 2 parameter is at 0 V.

⇒	If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.

6. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the B131B Exhaust Temperature Sensor 2.
