Code P0470

On my way to work this morning I got an engine light. Got to work used the scangaugeII to pull the codes. Got a P0470. (engine exhaust back pressure fault). Where can I find this sensor? What cost am I looking at and if anyone has a part number. Mike, any help!
Thanks

The EBP sensor is on the driver side connected to the exhaust manifold by a steel tube. Check the tube for plugging, but the code pretty much indicates it's a faulty sensor.

So your Scangauge actually reads the codes??

Hey, at least your Scangauge II can read the codes. Mine can't read squat, so I just use it like most everyone else to monitor different metrics.

Here's a link to a decent price on the EBP sensor. Did you hear your turbo kick out? When my EBP sensor went bad, boost went to zero and the exhuast made a drone sound.

[DPFE-6]Motorcraft Exhaust Back Pressure Sensor(EBP)-DPFE6-Ford Diesel Trucks - Diesel Filters,Additives,brake rotors, and brake pads for Chevy, Dodge and Ford Diesel Trucks

Good luck.

John, I think the other guys above have you covered pretty good.

The one highlighted in bold red is the correct number, which changes up to a Motorcraft part number DPFE-6.

Just ordered one from powerstrokedgirl.com for $59.49 plus $9.99 shipping. A lot cheaper then the dealer ($159.99).

I did clear the code and it has not returned. I will be replacing though and cleaning out the tube.
