Continental Ignition Knock Sensor

The Continental Ignition Knock Sensor (also called a detonation sensor or engine knock sensor) helps your engine control module detect abnormal combustion vibrations, known as knock or pinging. When it detects knock, the engine management system can adjust ignition timing to protect the engine and keep it running efficiently.

Key Features:

• Piezoelectric sensing element that converts engine block vibration into an electrical signal for the ECU
• Helps protect pistons, rings, bearings, and other internal engine components from damage caused by detonation
• Supports optimal ignition timing, which helps with drivability, performance, and fuel efficiency
• Built to meet OE-style fit and function requirements, with connector and mounting designs matched to the application
• Backed by Continental's engineering experience as a global automotive supplier

A failing knock sensor can cause a check engine light, reduced power, poor fuel economy, or audible engine pinging. Replacing it with a quality sensor helps restore proper engine monitoring and protection. Select the child item that matches your application to get the correct sensor.
