id0140u1004900
Purpose/Function
• Detects abnormal combustion in the cylinder as basic information for mainly determining the ignition timing.
• Detects abnormal combustion in the combustion chamber and sends it to the PCM as a knocking signal.
Construction
• Installed on the cylinder block.
• A piezoelectric element has been adopted as the detecting element for detecting abnormal combustion.
Operation
• Sends the signal, which fluctuates according to abnormal combustion, to the PCM.
