About Knock Sensor Wire Harness Loom | Rodent Proof
CAR KNOCK SENSOR FUNCTION: FUNCTIONAL PRINCIPLE The knock sensor is located on the outside of the engine block. It is intended to record knocking noise in all engine operating states in order to prevent engine damage. The knock sensor "listens out for" the structure-borne vibrations from the engine block and converts these into electrical voltage signals. The signals are filtered and evaluated in the control unit. The knocking signal is assigned to respective cylinder. If knocking occurs, the ignition signal for the respective cylinder is adjusted in the "late" direction until knocking combustion no longer occurs. ******** "There was what appeared to be a rodent nest in the cradle of the V6 and most of the knock sensor wire was missing, with only frayed ends at each connector visible. Apparently, a rodent built a nest in the motor and chewed through the knock sensor wire. While this is an extremely rare problem in general, I have learned that it is a fairly common problem "
