Do knock sensors go bad?
Yes they can.
Knock sensor location on a 2003 GMC Yukon?
on the engine block drivers side of intake the knock sensors are just like the fuel pumps on the tahoe's sooner or later they will go bad. You will need 2 knock sensors, the harness and gaskets
What are the symptoms of a bad knock sensor and can it damage the engine?
you will have a knock sensor code and the car will run slugish. when a knock sesor code is set its retards the timing so the engine will not detonate. the easyiest way to fix it is relocating the sensor.
Can a bad knock sensor produce too much noise like hard tapping?
Year, make and model would help, but generally...no. Unless the knock sensor were actually loose (not bolted down or broken) and "banging" off some other part, but this is a very unlikely scenario. Knock sensors are design to detect exactly that, engine knocks. There purpose is to have the vehicle's computer reduce timing, adjust fuel ratio and/or possibly shut down the engine completely if the sensor detects a knock that could result in engine damage.
Does the engine knock with a bad knock sensor?
NO it will not. If you have a knocking sound then you have trouble inside of the engine.
Will a bad knock sensor prevent an engine from shifting?
A bad knock sensor would illuminate the check engine light and allow the engine to ping (spark knock). The engine doesn't shift, the transmission shifts.
Will it hurt engine to drive with bad knock sensor?
Yes it can hurt your engine to drive with a bad knock sensor. The knock sensor should be replaced as soon as possible.
Does the engine on a 2003 impala knock in the top of the motor if the knock sensor is bad?
The knock sensor just advances and retards the engine timing only. If there is a noise in the engine then you have engine are valve train problems. The knock sensor will not make the engine knock.
What can happen if a knock sensor is bad?
the motor could pre-detonate or "knock" that can cause damage
How do you bypass a knock sensor in a ka24de?
You could do it with a resistor but this is a very bad idea as that sensor is there to protect the engine from catastrophic damage. Source a replacement from ebay
What is the function of the knock sensor in dodge neon?
knock sensors operate the same in every vehicle. when the engine "pings" or called spark knock( due to bad gas or low octane fuel, carbon build up on top of pistons or valves) the knock sensor sees this and retards the timing. vehicles now days, timing is not adjustable by u or me, only through the computer using the knock sensor and other sensors. master tech 26 yrs.
Would a bad torque converter cause the motor to knock?
No, it will not cause the engine to knock.
