    KNOCK SENSORS

    Knock Sensor
    The Knock Sensor detects engine knock and sends a voltage signal to the ECM. The ECM uses
    the Knock Sensor signal to control timing.

    Engine knock occurs within a specific frequency range. The Knock Sensor, located in the
    engine block, cylinder head, or intake manifold is tuned to detect that frequency.

    Inside the knock sensor is a piezoelectric element. Piezoelectric elements generate a voltage
    when pressure or a vibration is applied to them. The piezoelectric element in the knock sensor
    is tuned to the engine knock frequency.

    KNOCK SENSORS

    The vibrations from engine knocking vibrate the piezoelectric element generating a voltage. The
    voltage output from the Knock Sensor is highest at this time.
