I'm thinking that If the exhaust temp sensor is in expensive and avalible I'll just replace it my self. Instead of taking it to the dealer, waiting 1-3 days, then possibly wait weeks for the part, take it back and wait a day or two to fix. If Im looking at the right part online its less than $100. I'll check with the local dealer to.

I had mine replaced May of 2014 with p/n 55581035 and it's been fine since. Approaching 100K on the replacement without issue.

Your car is under bumper to bumper warranty still, let Chevrolet dealer repair your car.

All of the sensors should be there with descriptions and/or photos of their location.

looks like that is EGT sensor 3

I would likely need to rent a car while they work on it and, that could be more than the parts cost. Also... as a former GM Tech, its hard to let go and trust others with your car. Especialy when you know what tends to go on at a dealership. (for example, the Oil used for the recent service performed before I bought the car. Regular Dexos1 gasoline oil was used insted of Dexos2)

LOL!!! EGT sensor 2 is $44 dolars! hahahah. I'm going to repalce it my self. All I need is a wrench.

 

[jkhawaii]

I can see why the number 2 might fail more than the other two. its located in the DPF/converter assembly right in the middle of the two and likely runs real hot.

Very interesting. They told me they replaced #2. i never questioned it.

I am going to have to retrace my steps on this, but when I looked under my car shortly after they replaced the sensor, it looked like the new sensor was at the rear of the car. Could just be a coincidence. I don't always pay attention to the details.

If it was downstream on the exhaust, down by the DEF injector, it's #3. 1 and 2 are both attached to locations on the DPF assembly.

I thought yours was #3 at the time , mine was #2 with the speed reduction.

That jives with what I saw, but here was my RO that says #2. Guess they got it wrong on the RO. Thanks for clearing that up!

That is the correct part number for the number 2 EGT sensor. I just replaced mine under warranty.

The number 2 EGT sensor part number should be 55581035.

It was the number 2 sensor that was replaced. I just had the EGT sensor 2 replaced on my Cruze and it was that PN.

did you get the speed reduced message at the same time?? that's what I got with the same issue.

No. Mine had codes for 1-2 and 3-2 EGT temperature correlation

I drove 1000 miles with the issue before I had mine replaced. No change to drivability.
