International Temperature Sensors in Engine Systems
Temperature sensors are used throughout International engines to monitor key operating conditions. Accurate readings allow the ECM to make real-time adjustments to fueling, timing, and emissions systems.
Common sensor functions include:
- Monitoring engine coolant temperature
- Measuring intake air temperature
- Tracking exhaust gas temperatures (EGT)
- Supporting turbocharger and aftertreatment performance
These sensors are essential for maintaining engine efficiency and protecting critical components.
Common International Engine Applications
International temperature sensors are used across multiple diesel engine platforms in commercial trucks.
- International MaxxForce DT engines
- International MaxxForce 10 and 13 engines
- International A26 diesel engines
- International LT and ProStar trucks
Sensor types and locations vary depending on engine model and emissions configuration.
Role in Aftertreatment Systems
Temperature sensors are critical for proper operation of DPF and SCR systems in modern International engines.
- Monitor exhaust temperatures before and after the DPF
- Support proper regeneration cycles
- Protect aftertreatment components from overheating
- Ensure SCR system efficiency
Incorrect temperature readings can lead to regeneration issues, fault codes, or engine derates.
Common Failure Symptoms
- Check engine or temperature-related fault codes
- Incorrect or unstable temperature readings
- Failed or incomplete DPF regeneration
- Engine derate conditions
- Poor fuel efficiency or drivability issues
Failures may be caused by sensor wear, contamination, wiring issues, or internal electrical faults.
Installation & System Considerations
When replacing a temperature sensor, proper installation and inspection are important to avoid repeat issues.
- Verify correct sensor type and location
- Inspect wiring harness and connectors
- Check for coolant or exhaust leaks
- Ensure proper sealing and torque specifications
Correct installation ensures accurate readings and long-term reliability.
Verify Fitment Before You Buy
Temperature sensors vary depending on engine model and system configuration. To confirm compatibility before ordering, provide:
- Engine serial number
- Truck year / make / model
- Sensor location (coolant, EGT, intake air, etc.)
- Current sensor part number
This ensures the correct International temperature sensor is selected for your application.
