If your exhaust temperature sensor is faulty, your car may exhibit the following symptoms. Let me summarize them for you:
Main Symptoms:
* **Reduced Power:** Sluggish response during acceleration, lack of power when climbing hills or overtaking.
* **Increased Fuel Consumption:** Misfire in the fuel-air mixture control, potentially leading to a 10%-15% increase in fuel consumption in city driving.
* **Abnormal Emissions:** Excessive exhaust emissions, possibly accompanied by the smell of unburned gasoline. The OBD system may store fault codes such as P0420.
* **Starting and Idling Problems:** Difficulty starting when cold, unstable engine speed at idle.
* **Warning Light On:** The engine malfunction indicator light (MIL) remains illuminated; some models may display a "reduced engine power" message.
Potential Impacts:
* **Protection Mode:** In severe cases, the vehicle may trigger speed or torque limitations.
* **Driving Experience:** Non-linear acceleration and uneven power output.
If you encounter these situations, it is recommended to use a diagnostic tool to read the fault codes or have the sensor checked at a repair shop as soon as possible.
