Default egr sensor

95 es300
i have code p0401
too little egr flow
i recently cleaned the intake but didn't remove sensor(its on the pipe, on right side, on egr valve tube) that was attached to egr assemly, i measure resistance and its zero on egr gas temperature sensor indicates malfunction, open circuit

its on the bottom middle of the pic

new one is expensive $90, does anyone have a used one i can buy?


here is some common problems

• EGR valve stuck closed
• Open or short in EGR gas temperature sensor circuit
• EGR gas temperature sensor malfunction

If my memory serve me well it's the sensor on top of the EGR with two 8mm screws bolt onto it. I might be wrong on the 95 ES.
