The knock sensor is a device used to detect engine knock. But everyone must not underestimate its existence, once a breakdown occurs, the impact on the car itself is extremely large. So, what are the breakdowns of the knock sensor, and what happens if the knock sensor is unplugged.

Once the knock sensor is damaged, it is naturally unable 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.

But as technology continues to develop,modernWhen designing automobile engine ECU, such a situation has been considered. Therefore, once the knock sensor signal cannot be detected for a long time, the protection program will be activated to avoid knocking, and a fault light will be lit to remind the car owner.So when wediscoverWhen the fault light is on, you must go to the auto repair shop for repairs in time. After all, the impact of car knock is quite serious.

As for what happens when the knock sensor is unplugged, it is actually the same as the impact of damage to the knock sensor. From this point of view, we must not be able to remove it, and you may not notice any problems at first. But if the engine is in a state of knocking for a long time, it is likely to deform the connecting rod piston, and even directly cause the engine to be completely scrapped. I believe you don't want to see these things happen.
