Function

Any vibrations which occur are converted with the aid of the piezoceramic into electrical signals.

Piezo-electric effect: If a mechanical force acts on a crystal, electrical voltages are produced.

The noise signal is modulated to a DC voltage from 0.13 to 4.7 V for transmission to the ME control unit.

Knock sensor signals may also indicate engine damage, e.g. increased engine noise resulting from a widened piston groove.
