Yes. The oxygen sensor measure oxygen level in the exhaust. A knock sensor measure vibration in the engine to detect spark knock. However, modern engines use sensors dedicated to sensing oxides of nitrogen in the exhaust gas. These are often referred to as "Nox sensors". This is probably where the confusion arises.

Where is a knock sensor on a gmc sierra 1500?
the knock sensors are located in the top of the engine block. The intake has to be removed to get to the sensors.
What is the knock sensors function?
Knock sensors detect abnormal vibrations in the engine. The system is designed to reduce spark knock during periods of heavy detonation. Knock sensors produce AC output voltage which increases with the severity of the knock. The signal is fed into the PCM and the timing is retarded to compensate for the severe detonation.
Where are the Oxygen sensors for Mazda millenia and how many are there?
Depends on Which Year and Which Engine (2.3 or 2.5) My 99 2.5L has 4 o2 PLUS a knock sensor
Does a faulty oxygen sensors cause a truck to run bad on a 1988 Chevy 2500?
yes it can. also check knock sensor and the wire going to it
Do you really need knock sensors?
They help control spark knock and the damage they can do.
Where is the knock sensor on a 2006 Chevrolet silverado 5.3?
There are two knock sensors on your engine, and they are underneath the intake manifold. You will have to remove the intake to get to the sensors.
Knock sensor location on a 1996 Toyota Avalon?

What knock sensor is considered right bank on a 2005 Chevy 5.3 engine. front or rear?
There is NO right are left bank knock sensor. If you are smart you will replace BOTH of them while you have the intake off. You do have left and right bank oxygen senors, But not knock sensors.
Do knock sensors go bad?
Yes they can.
What sensors are on the exhaust manifold and are those also oxygen sensors?
Usually oxygen sensors are what would be screwed into the exhaust manifold.Usually oxygen sensors are what would be screwed into the exhaust manifold.
