I've searched a bit and it seems no one knows how long we can ignore the engine light when it throws a code saying there's a problem with one of these sensors.

The code is for bank 1, sensor 1 I think. I do have 2 sensors in my glove box but I need to run 500 miles today and 500 home Tuesday with my work trailer. I'd like to wait until I've done my work and returned home before I dig in to the issue. I'm afraid if I start removing sensors and seeing what happens I might make the problem worse?

Anyone know if I can just "do what I gotta do" and fix it later?

 

When mine went out I ran it for about that many miles before I could change it.


I have no idea if it would have ever shut it down.


Seem to run fine.

 

Thanks bud.

 

Did Ford extend the warranty on EGT sensors in the US? I got a letter for my '11 about it.

 

I do believe so..

 

They did extend it. I do believe to 100K or # of years. Don't have it on me right now.

 

I cleared the code this morning before I hit the road and of course it never came back. Thread for nothing I guess......

 

not really, it serves as a reminder that was pointed out in reference to the extended warranty.

 

Don't worry --- it'll come back. Mine came back twice at about 700 miles or so each time. Changing the sensor resolved it.
