Knock Sensor: Description and Operation

- The knock sensor is installed on the cylinder block, and senses knocking signals.

- This knock sensor is a piezo-electric type which converts knocking vibrations into electric signals.

- It consists of a piezo-electric element, weight, and case. If knocking occurs in the engine, the weight in the case moves causing the piezo-electric element to generate a voltage.

- The knock sensor is connected to the bulkhead harness through the knock sensor harness.
