Code P242a and exhaust gas temperature sensor

[OldSkoolMadSkilz]

2014 TDI Sportwagen is showing a P242a and the exhaust gas is reading 930c. I think I know what connector it is. Can this be diagnosed with an ohmmeter, and what should it read at certain temperatures? Also, is this covered by the extended dieselgate warranty?

Anything that sets a check engine light other than for the transmission is covered. Get and read and get to know the document before going in.

Except when a mouse gets under the firewall cowl and eats your ECU harness. That's what it was. Had to splice 4 wires. All good now.

Well I didn't think I would have to include stuff that isn't VW's fault. That should be obvious.
