Frequently Asked Questions - FAQs
Q1: What is a Knock Sensor?
A1: A knock sensor is an automotive component that detects sudden, sharp vibrations from an engine, caused by a phenomenon known as engine knock or detonation of fuel-air mixture. The sensor then sends a signal to the engine control unit (ECU) to adjust the ignition timing to prevent engine damage.
Q2: Why is a Knock Sensor important?
A2: A knock sensor is very important in maintaining optimal engine performance and protecting the engine from damage. By detecting and responding to the onset of engine knock, the ECU can adjust the ignition timing to prevent engine damage.
Q3: How often should I replace a Knock Sensor?
A3: Generally, a Knock Sensor should be replaced every 75,000 miles or so, depending on the driving conditions and environmental factors. In some cases, it can be replaced as quickly as 25,000 miles. It is important to follow your vehicle manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule for best performance.
