Extended Product Information
FAQs
What does an exhaust temperature sensor do?
It measures the temperature of the exhaust gases before the catalytic converter. This information is used by the engine control unit (ECU) to manage engine performance, fuel efficiency, and emissions control.
How do I know if my exhaust temperature sensor needs replacing?
Common signs include the illumination of the Check Engine Light, a noticeable decrease in fuel economy, rough engine running, or reduced engine power. Diagnostic trouble codes related to exhaust temperature are also indicators.
What is the warranty period for this sensor?
Please refer to the seller's specific warranty information. Typically, replacement parts come with a limited warranty against manufacturing defects.
Can I fit this sensor myself?
Yes, if you have basic mechanical knowledge and the correct tools (a 14mm spanner). However, if you are not comfortable, it is best to have it installed by a professional mechanic.
What is the 'placement on vehicle' for this sensor?
The sensor is placed on the exhaust system *before* the catalytic converter.
What is the thread size and spanner size required?
The thread size is M12 x 1.25, and a 14mm spanner is required for installation and removal.
What is the cable length of this sensor?
The cable length for this sensor is 405 mm.
Troubleshooting
Check Engine Light remains on after installation.
Ensure the electrical connector is securely attached. Clear any existing Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) using an OBD-II scanner. If the light persists, the new sensor may be faulty or there could be an issue with the wiring harness or ECU.
Vehicle experiences poor acceleration or reduced fuel economy.
Verify the sensor is correctly installed and the electrical connection is secure. Ensure no exhaust leaks are present near the sensor. Consider having the vehicle's emissions system and ECU read for further diagnostic information.
Difficulty removing the old sensor.
Apply a penetrating oil to the threads of the old sensor and allow it to soak for some time. Ensure the correct size spanner (14mm) is used to avoid stripping the fitting. If seized, professional removal may be required to prevent exhaust manifold damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility Check:
Before purchasing, it is essential to use the provided make/model tool to confirm this Exhaust Temperature Sensor is compatible with your specific vehicle. This sensor is designed for MITSUBISHI L200 / TRITON (KA_T, KB_T) 2.5 DI-D (KA4T) Pickup models manufactured between September 2011 and December 2015, featuring a 2.5L diesel engine and RWD. It replaces OEM part number 1587A058.
Installation:
- Safety First: Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface, the engine is completely cool, and the parking brake is engaged.
- Locate Sensor: Identify the existing exhaust temperature sensor located on the exhaust manifold or pipe before the catalytic converter.
- Disconnect: Carefully disconnect the electrical connector from the old sensor.
- Remove Old Sensor: Using a 14mm spanner, unscrew the old sensor from the exhaust system.
- Install New Sensor: Screw the new CI Exhaust Temperature Sensor into the threaded port. Ensure it is snug but do not overtighten.
- Connect Electrical Connector: Attach the electrical connector to the new sensor.
- Test: Start the vehicle and check for any warning lights. A diagnostic scan may be necessary to clear any old fault codes.
*Note: If you are unsure about the installation process, it is recommended to consult a qualified mechanic.*
Care:
Exhaust temperature sensors are generally maintenance-free components. However, to ensure optimal performance and longevity:
- Keep the sensor area clean from excessive dirt and debris during regular vehicle maintenance.
- Avoid impacts or physical damage to the sensor or its wiring during underside work.
- Regularly check exhaust system integrity, as leaks can affect sensor readings.
