It gives the PCM a number...that's all the EBPS-delete does.

It gives the PCM a value between 1 and 4 volts just so there is not a check engine light.

Your load calculations are off. But if your truck shifts fine, then don't worry about it.

 

no no i wasent trying to start anything, jsut was curious. thats good to know though cody. so i guess im alright. probally should hook it up any way. i just got tired of cleaning it

 

I imagine it will if you do something to facilitate that above and beyond simply plugging the sensor mounting port. Phil, did you install a resistor or something?

Just curious about how much the EBV sensor plays in the PCM strategy. I don't know that it does at all. From the manual:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="V1C%7Eus%7Een%7Efile=V1Cstyle.htm%7Egen%7Ere f.htm">Exhaust Back-Pressure Sensor
Note: The Exhaust Back-Pressure sensor is not present on F650 and F750 models.
The Exhaust Back-Pressure sensor is a variable capacitor sensor that is supplied a 5-volt reference signal by the PCM and returns a linear analog voltage signal that indicates pressure. The Exhaust Back-Pressure sensor measures the pressure in the RH exhaust manifold. This sensor is used in conjunction with the exhaust back-pressure regulator to form a closed loop exhaust back-pressure control system.
The exhaust back-pressure is controlled by the PCM to provide more heat to the coolant for cab heating when ambient air temperature is below 7°C (45°F) and engine oil temperature is below 75°C (167°F) during low load, low speed operating conditions.
An open or short in the Exhaust Back-Pressure sensor wiring will result in a low out of range voltage at the PCM, and the PCM will disable Exhaust Back-Pressure control.

 

thats interesting..hmm. this is making me think

and no i just took the sensor out, capped it and capped the tube. i am thinking about plugging it back in, but want to get a new sensor first. will the PCM relarn the volatge then?

 

Fixed my tranny problem is gone....before hand thank all of you, for your replies. I replaced the EBP sensor and EBP tube going to the exhaust and problem was fixed. Mark,Grant thanks for your help, special thanks to you Jay for helping me through FTE.

As far as R O C DR A... those are all my drinking buddies initials.

My wife seems to think these smileys are funny and cute(girl thing), and remind her of us....
Since I fix our truck, as you can see we are having a big party!!

 

I am thinking too, not saying anything. I don't think the PCM uses any of that info for strategy but am not sure. That is why I am posting. I have done the EBV delete as well but use the sensor just to be able to log it for backpressure comparisons.

Edit: well heck I see he fixed his, I guess. That is very interesting.

 

yea, see thats the thing. just that little bit made his tranny better. i know what im doing tomorrow ! i guess there is a reason they put that on there.

 

Thanks for the post. My EBP valve has been bad for some time now. It was telling the computer that i there was 53 psi, 4.XX volts all the time, even at idle. I had cleaned it before and it did make the EBPV work last year. Tried it couple months ago didn't help. Figured I would just let it go. Till I read this post this morning. I unhooked it, checked with scan tool, found without it hooked, computer receives 0.00 volts, 43 psi. Shifted great all day. Guess I'll look into getting a new sensor.

 

That is awesome that you issues are fixed with that. Good job

 

First a quick shoutout to FTE and members for allowing me to be part of the site, thank you, i have an 06 f250 powerstroke 6.0 i purchased a couple years ago and the first Diesel i have owned and i have learned vastly more information from this site than all other sites I’ve researched combined, with all that being said i see member upgrade in the near future! Now as to why I’m posting is issues with the ebp,
i replaced the original factory sensor with a cheap $30 after market sensor and it worked for a few months but having issues again so here I find my self in wee hours of the morning thinking if it’s possible to delete the ebp all together and as I’m scrolling i ran across a post by
tdpower about guzzle maintenance video on how to clean an ebp sensor and was wondering if you could possibly direct me to the video
thanks in advance

 

Not a video per se but here you go.
