Car in question is going up for sale, so best to sell it with the MIL off.

P246E - EGT sensor bank 1 sensor 4.
Narrowed it down to a single sensor, the sensor after the DPF, both by logic, ETKA and wiring diagram.

Logic: bank 1 (lol), sensor 4 is the last sensor. So after TC, after CC, after DPF.
By image of the system layout:

Number 6 for L0L CAYB: 03L906088CH orange plug

So I ordered a brand spanking new plug from the dealership

Screwed it in right above number four, cleaned the contacts in the process, measured the wire from end to end according to:

Wire was doing fine too.

So, guess what? MIL still blinking.

I have no idea what this error in the BCM is btw, but will have a look at this: http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/04194

DTC is not confirmed, returns directly after being cleared.
Car is in stock configuration and no engine FOD.
Car did have some retrofits (satnav, trailer, alarm) but no work done on the engine.

Live values show:
EGT sensor B1S1 50 degrees and fluctuating slightly
EGT sensor B1S3 150 degrees and fluctuating slightly
EGT sensor B1S4 999.99 stable

Check generic OBD. Is there a fault for that sensor in any of the modes 3, 7, or 10?

What happens if you just unplug the sensor? (Not suggesting that as any kind of "fix" but just as a diagnostic technique).

mode 7 indeed produces this error.
unplugging the sensor has no different result

OK, at least we know it's not in Mode 10, where it can't be cleared even if the problem has been fixed. If it were, you'd have to wait until the ECU itself had decided the problem has really been taken care of.

unplugging the sensor has no different result
Well, if you are 100% certain that the sensor is good, and that the wiring is good, then that really only leaves one component as the possible cause, right?

Fitted another ECU and that produced the same DTC. Load tested the wires from end to end again today and it was fine. So I'm really doubting myself now but I'll order a new sensor.
