Knock Sensor: Description and Operation

PURPOSE/OPERATION

-

The knock sensor is installed on the cylinder block, and senses knocking signals.

-

This knock Sensor is a piezo-electric type which converts knocking vibrations into electric signals.

-

It consists of a piezo-electric element, weight, and case. If knocking occurs in the engine, the weight in the case moves causing the piezo-electric
element to generate a voltage.
