XRV Exhaust Temperature Sensor Issue

Hi, I've got a 2017 Honda XRV with a gasoline engine. Recently, the check engine light illuminated, and I've noticed a drop in engine power along with increased fuel consumption. Diagnostic scans point to a faulty exhaust temperature sensor. Given the symptoms, I suspect a possible exhaust leak might be the culprit. Anyone experienced this?

Summary of the thread

The owner suspected an exhaust leak as the cause. Another individual confirmed similar issues, which were resolved by identifying and fixing an exhaust leak near the sensor. The suggested solution was to have a mechanic inspect and repair the exhaust system, which successfully resolved the problem.

I had similar issues with my XRV. Check Engine light plus weird fuel consumption. It was the temperature sensor alright.

Interesting. Was it also due to a leak in the exhaust system? And what steps did you take to fix it?

I didn't find the leak myself but my local mechanic did find one in the exhaust system, close to the sensor. Honestly, I would just take it to a workshop and have them check the exhaust system.

Thanks! I appreciate the advice. Turns out it was indeed a leak near the sensor, as you suspected. Got it fixed for 265€. Runs like new now.
