You guys must have a trailer full of spares where ever you go. I try and keep up with all of this and am finding that I have filled up just about every square inch with spares that I read about on POG.
The article has been written, it gives part numbers and costs, and has links to show codes and locations of sensors.
I will give it a final review and then I think Jim will post when it goes on line.
Yes you can use a paper clip or anything to jump across the two lines on the coolant sensor, but no other sensors can be jumped because they measure resistance values.
The sensor article has been posted by Jim Skiff on the POG Articles page.
If you print out the two links and keep them in your coach along with the spare sensors you or your mechanic will have all you need to get you along the way again.

Tuga, these are prevost part # and they look a little different from Jon's pictures. My bus is in storage so I can't verify these parts until I compare to the OE ones.
The photos shown were DD original equipment parts, and they have the DD part numbers stamped on them. The prices are full retail from the local DD dealer.
With DDEC and other computer controlled engines out there I am certain these sensors are likely available as generic parts at much lower prices.
I think if you are also going to carry the SRS and the TRS sensors, then you might as well include the throttle position sensor, turbo boost sensor and a coolant level sensor because they all have the ability to stop you from running.
Jon,
Thanks for the article on sensors: I just printed it out along with the diagram of their location on the engine. I am going to order all of them to keep as spares. Thanks for taking the time to post this important info. I really appreciate it.:D
Great article Jon. I'm not quite clear if the 8V's have the same sensors, even after reading the DD info on the site. Could you clarify that please?
Sorry for the late reply but I've been behind the wheel for the last few days.
There is one more very real malfunction that will shut you down and there may be others that are related to this such as a broken wire in these circuits.
If any of the four identical engine ignition relays fail (two in the front electrical panel under the driver and two in the engine electrical panel) your engine will shut down immediately with no warning whatsoever. This shutdown will be recognized due to the fact that there will be a total electrical failure in which all engine functions will be totally dead. This malfunction was discussed in an earlier thread. There are 2 that power the 12volt engine circuits and 2 that power the 24v circuits. Since these relays mount a little differently than other plug in relays it would be advisable to carry at least one in your spares kit. They are 24volt 70amp relays, Prevost PN 561991.
