Knock Sensor: Description and Operation



Knock Sensor

Description

When all of the entry conditions have been met, the input signals from the two knock sensors are checked against variable upper and lower threshold levels that are dependent on engine speed. If either sensor input is outside the threshold, then a failure is registered. If a failure is noted on two drive cycles then the MIL will illuminate.
