sonofsam 5 Posted December 19, 2006 To check the knock sensor you need an Oscilloscope, full details here :http://www.brickboard.com/ARCHIVES/2001SEP/20180393.shtml Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pugrallye 0 Posted December 27, 2006 and when replacing, do not do it up too tight, its a crystal microphone and they crush v v easily Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jacobs53 0 Posted December 27, 2006 you can test the knock sensor without an oscilloscope, if you use a multimeter and tap the engine block with a metal spanner. There should be a voltage increase while tapping, if there isn't the sensor is at fault. There is also a resistance test but I can't remember the specified values. lee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jacobs53 0 Posted December 27, 2006 every knock sensor I have ever come across has always responded to a soft tap on the engine block. lee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
