How do you install the knock sensor on a 2002 Chevy Avalanche?
You need to buy a Haynes Repair manual. To replace the knock sensor, you need to remove the antifreeze from the engine. You need to disconnect the battery. You need to remove the alternator and the air box. ( You actually dont need to remove the alternator seeing as I did it with out taking the alternator off) You need to remove the fuel injection and the air intake manifold. Under the manifold there is a inspection plate that has two wires going into it. You will need to replace both sensors and both wiring harnesses that goes to the sensors. You will need a new intake manifold gasket and a torque wrench that is in INCH POUNDS - not foot pounds to torque the intake manifold. You will need to permetex the valley around the knock sensors to divert the water away from the knock sensors. Connect all the wires to the proper terminals and replace the anti freeze if it is more then 3 years old with a Universal antifreeze. Reconnect the battery wire and you should be good to go.
