By looking at it, it also seems like a wideband O2 sensor which would make sense given the very broad range of AFR diesel run. In other words, not needed. A traditional narrow band used in manifold injection engines won't give much readings

If you want to do the equivalent of replacing the O2 sensors in a diesel, pull the MAP sensor (mounted on the intake manifold) and give it a good clean since it can get dirty with soot and oil. I use throttle body cleaner. Note that with time the rubber grommet holding it hardens so after removal you may not have a good seal with the old grommet so consider buying one before hand. It's cheap.

Thanks so much. I'm going to hold off on the o2 sensor and did a MAP sensor clean for now!
