What is CID 1026 & How to Solve It?

What is CID 1026:

cid 1026 refers to a fault in the engine’s exhaust gas temperature (egt) sensor circuit. improper temperature readings can affect fuel system performance and regeneration cycles.

‍

Why This Happens:

• faulty egt sensor.
  
• soot or debris blocking the sensor.
  
• shorted or damaged wiring.
  
• corroded connectors.
  
• malfunctioning ecm.
  
  

How to Fix It:

1. inspect and clean the egt sensor.
   
2. check the wiring for damage or corrosion.
   
3. test the sensor's output voltage.
   
4. replace the faulty sensor.
   
5. verify proper regeneration process.
   
   

How to Avoid It Before It Happens:

• perform routine cleaning of the exhaust system.
  
• monitor egt readings through diagnostics.
  
• replace faulty sensors promptly.
  
• clue’s fleet management software helps track exhaust temperatures and avoid sensor failures.
