The knocking sound that the sensor is designed to detect is caused by uneven combustion of a lower octane gasoline than the engine is able to burn efficiently. The knock sensor signals the Electronic Control Unit and ignition timing and other engine parameters are changed to eliminate the knocking. Knocking, if allowed to continue over a long time can seriously damage the engine. --Ken

Couldn't be easier. Once you locate the knock sensor below and behind the intake manifold, it is held on with one screw through the middle and connected to the wiring harness by one plug. Finding it is the hard part. --Ken
Where is the knock sensor on a 2000 subaru forester?
The knock sensor is just behind the intake manifold on the top of the engine. It is a few inches below the manifold and all you will see is a bolt with what looks like a very thick washer on it with wires coming out of it. The knock sensor appearance has been described as a small donut. Easiest to see while leaning over the left front fender using a flashlight.
