Elysion exhaust temperature sensor fault

My 2008 Honda Elysion with a gasoline engine has a weird issue. At 227589 km, the check engine light comes on and I lose power. Fuel consumption also spikes. The exhaust temperature readings are all over the place, even when idling. Could there be a leak in the exhaust system? Anyone seen this?

A 2008 Honda Elysion experienced a check engine light, power loss, and increased fuel consumption, with erratic exhaust temperature readings. The issue was suspected to be a leak in the exhaust system. A similar case suggested checking the exhaust temperature sensor for damage or faulty connections. The problem was resolved by replacing the sensor and repairing a small leak near the catalytic converter.

I had a similar issue with my Elysion. Check engine light, power loss, the whole shebang. Did you check the sensor itself for damage? Sometimes it's just a faulty connection.

Thanks for the quick reply. Was the temperature fluctuation significant for you? Did the issue end up being the sensor or something else?

The temperature swings were pretty wild, yes. In my case, it turned out to be the sensor. I'd suggest getting it checked at a workshop; exhaust systems can be tricky.

Took it in and it was the exhaust temperature sensor, plus a small leak near the catalytic converter. Sensor replacement and a small weld cost 265€. Seems fixed now.
