knock sensor problems
Does anyone have a problem with their knock sensor? My X is running terrible and the diag.reads knock sensor malfuntion. Could anything else but a defective KS cause the code to come up. I thought that if there was water in the gas causing it to run rough that maybe this could cause the code to come up. If I do have to replace it is it a difficult job? I've also heard of bypassing it with resisters. Is this common practice?
Standing by waiting to see if I have to replace it. Can't drive it like this. |

If you're supercharged, your sensor is critical. If not, it's not. Yes, it's a royal bitch to replace.

Re: knock sensor problems
The knock sensor alone WILL NOT TRIP THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT. If you leave the gas cap loose, you'll get an EVAP code of some sort.

Re: knock sensor problems
Offroad X is right . I just had that happen to me yesterday . One thing though . If you have a stereo system with a capacitor , you have to dissconnected that too or the main power wire will act as a battery from the cap. This will have enough power to run the Xterra's computer for a few days. Dissconnecting the battery works great just make sure the computer was unpowered. Check your short trip odometer to make sure it reset itself. I also had the faults read at Auto zone and the knock sensor went away and the check engine soon light is out too .
