Tridon Left Hand Knock Sensor for Kia Optima GD AGD224 Sportage KM 2.5L 2.7L

Content : Tridon Knock Sensor

The knock sensor's primary function is to detect and respond to acoustic signals (vibrations) caused by vehicle engine advanced timing detonation, known as engine knock or pinging.

The knock sensor is an integral part of the engine management system. A fully operational knock sensor will allow the vehicle ECU to control the engine ignition timing to optimise power and fuel efficiency.

The knock sensor must be compatible with the vehicle engine management system.

A faulty knock sensor may provide incorrect output voltage signals to the vehicle ECU leading to potential engine damage.

When an engine knock or pinging is present it is important to check the entire engine operation. If a knock sensor malfunction or fault is suspected, the knock sensor should be inspected and repairs carried out by a trained professional.

As knock sensor electrical circuits, technical specifications and appearance may vary,always refer to the vehicle application list to ensure correct part number selection.
