P0546 Code - Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor Circuit High Bank 1 Sensor 1

What Does P0546 Mean?

OBD-II Code Decreased engine performance is defined as a Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor Circuit High

The Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) Sensor tells the engine control module (PCM) the temperature of the exhaust gas coming out of the engine. High exhaust temperatures can lead to engine or turbocharger failure. If the PCM detects an incorrect signal from the EGT sensor, it will store code P0546.

Other causes may include the exhaust gas temperature sensor being shorted internally (or to ground), a faulty sensor, the presence of an aftermarket off road exhaust system that causes a decrease in back pressure, a severe exhaust leak upstream from the exhaust temperature sensor will also cause this code to be stored.

How do you troubleshoot P0546 ?

Repairs that may fix the P0546 code may include:

• Clearing all codes and ensuring that the code returns when the vehicle is road tested
• Visually inspecting theEGT sensor wiring and connectors and replacing if damaged
• Testing the sensor resistance and replacing if below 50 ohms
• In rare cases, replacing the PCM (powertrain control module) or ECM (engine control module)
