Knock Sensor (KS)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Saturn Vue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The knock sensor (KS) is located below the intake manifold, on the engine block between the left and right side engine cylinders. The KS detects engine detonation and sends a signal to the PCM. The PCM uses the input from the KS to adjust the ignition timing in order to control detonation. For detailed information on the operation of the KS refer to Knock Sensor (KS) System Description .
