I believe that the knock sensor is no stranger to everyone, it is a device used to detect engine knock. But when it comes to how to measure the 2-wire knock sensor, many small partners say they are not very clear. Although this was originally the job that the maintenance staff wanted to do, wouldn't it be better for us to have a better understanding of our car.

Knock sensor detection method (need to use a computer detector)

1. First connect the computer tester to the car computer fault diagnosis socket;

2. Then start the car engine and set the computer tester to data transmission mode;

3. Then directly hit the cylinder block near the knock sensor with the head, and observe the change of the ignition advance angle value on the display of the instrument at the same time;

4. If the value drops when the head strikes, it means that the knock sensor is in normal working condition at this time. But if there is no change at all, it means there is a problem with the knock sensor.

Don't underestimate the problem of knock sensor failure. Once the knock sensor fails, it will naturally not be able to detect engine knock. Even if the engine has knocked, the ECU cannot adjust the ignition timing in time to prevent further knocking. Not only will the vehicle feel obvious vibration or abnormal engine noise, but also the power performance and fuel consumption of the vehicle will have a certain impact. If it is serious, the internal parts of the engine will be damaged, and the maintenance cost will be very high at that time. NS.
