TechASSIST: Product Support and Information

Knock sensors are critical to the safe and efficient operation of modern engines. They: Detect early combustion knock or detonation, helping the ECU adjust ignition timing in real-time Protect pistons, valves, and cylinder walls from knock-related damage Enable fuel-efficient engine operation under varying load and temperature conditions Support emissions control by optimising combustion and reducing NOx output Prevent drivability issues and performance loss due to timing retardation When knock sensors fail or misread, the ECU may revert to a failsafe map — sacrificing performance and fuel economy while protecting the engine.

Why Do They Fail?

Knock sensors are highly sensitive and operate under harsh conditions. Common causes of failure include:

  • Internal piezoelectric element degradation from heat or vibration

  • Cracked housing or casing due to overtightening

  • Corroded or damaged wiring or connectors

  • Oil contamination near the sensor or connector

  • Incorrect installation torque, affecting sensitivity and accuracy

Symptoms of a Failed Knock Sensor

  • Poor engine performance and sluggish acceleration

  • Increased fuel consumption due to ignition timing being held back

  • Illuminated Check Engine Light (MIL) with fault codes (e.g. P0325, P0330)

  • Engine knock (pinging) under load or acceleration

  • Harsh running or misfire symptoms, especially at high RPM

  • Limp mode activation in some ECU strategies

Fitting Tips

  1. Torque the sensor correctly — overtightening can crush the internal element.

  2. Mount directly to clean metal surfaces with no rust or oil contamination.

  3. Check the connector and wiring for heat damage, especially near turbochargers or exhaust manifolds.

  4. Avoid aftermarket spacers or gaskets that could isolate the sensor from vibration signals.

  5. Clear fault codes and verify signal using live data or oscilloscope readings where possible.
