KNOCK SENSOR (KS) 

The knock sensor is attached to the cylinder block and senses engine knocking conditions.

A knocking vibration from the cylinder block is applied as pressure to the piezoelectric element. This vibrational pressure is then converted into a voltage signal which is delivered as output. If engine knocking occurs, ignition timing is retarded to suppress it.

HARNESS INSPECTION PROCEDURE 
SENSOR INSPECTION
  1. Disconnect the knock sensor connector.

  1. Measure resistance between the terminal 2 and 3.

    SPECIFICATION
    Standard value about 5O [at 20°C (68°F)]
  1. If the resistance is continual, replace the knock sensor.

    TORQUE SPECIFICATION
    Knock sensor 16-28 Nm ( 160-250 kg·cm, 11.8-18.4 lb·ft )
  1. Measure the capacitance between the terminal 2 & 3.

    Standard value: 800-1600 pF
