what is knock sensor

A knock sensor is a crucial component of a vehicle's engine management system. It is designed to detect abnormal combustion, known as knocking or pinging, within the engine cylinders. When the sensor detects knocking, it sends a signal to the engine control unit (ECU), which then adjusts the ignition timing to prevent potential engine damage. The knock sensor is an essential safety feature that helps to improve engine performance and fuel efficiency while reducing emissions. It is particularly important for modern engines with higher compression ratios and turbocharged systems, as these are more prone to knocking. Our knock sensors are precision-engineered to meet the highest quality and performance standards. They are designed to withstand the harsh conditions of the engine bay and deliver reliable, accurate detection of engine knock. With our knock sensors, vehicle owners can have peace of mind knowing that their engines are protected from potentially damaging knocking events. Overall, our knock sensors are an indispensable component for any vehicle, ensuring optimal engine performance and longevity.
