Knock Sensor: Technical Service Bulletins
Engine Controls - Knock Sensor Torque

SOURCE: KIA Technician Times Volume 6 Issue 6, 2003 

TITLE:  Knock Sensor Torque

APPLIES TO:  ALL

SERVICE TIP: 

When replacing or diagnosing a knock sensor, make sure to torque it carefully. Knock sensors are very sensitive to tightening torque. Too tight and the
sensor will be too sensitive; too loose and the sensor will not be sensitive enough. Torque knock sensors to 15-18 lb-ft (20-25 Nm).
