knock sensor is a very sensitive small microphone usually on the engine block or sum times on the cylinder head , it listens for any pre detonation going on in your engine . pre detonation is nasty early combustion you dont want, if you get pre det it causes a pre knock sound which the knock sensor microphone detects. your probly not getting pre detonation but thats what the sensor does 8) "sensor 1 circuit" means the ecu has detected it cannot make connection to the sensor, the sensor could be dead or you could have a wiring issue to the sensor IE chaffed wire, bad connection at the plug ect.

How do you change a knock sensor on a 2001 Honda civic?
A knock sensor is to let you know that there is a noise in the engine. It is rare that one fails. If you had someone read codes and the knock sensor was the one to come up, that only means that that circuit is the one setting the code. You need to have someone diagnosis the problem. You could have a rod knocking or any loud noise detected could set the code.
How do you eliminate knock sensor?
Eliminating a knock sensor is not recommended, as it plays a crucial role in engine performance and longevity by preventing pre-ignition and detonation. If you still wish to proceed, you can physically disconnect the sensor and remove it from the engine. However, doing so may trigger a check engine light and can lead to engine damage or reduced efficiency. It’s best to address any issues with the knock sensor rather than removing it.

Then, remove the intake manifold to access the knock sensor, which is located on the engine block. Disconnect the electrical connector from the sensor, unscrew it using a socket, and replace it with a new sensor, making sure to torque it to the manufacturer’s specifications. Finally, reassemble the intake manifold, reconnect the battery, and clear any codes from the engine control module if necessary.
Will the knock sensor cause A car to fail a smog test?
Yes. Any faulty emissions control sensor, including knock sensors, will result in an automatic fail of any emissions control test, period. It doesn't even matter if your vehicle's actual exhaust emissions are within acceptable limits. In most cases, once it is determined that a sensor is bad, the test is ended immediately, and considered failed.
Does your grand prix GTP need both knock sensors?
Technically, in order for the engine to run, the knock sensor is not required. However, it is definetly recommended to have the knock sensor on each bank in and operating properly. The reason for this is because the knock sensor senses and improper vibrations of the cylinder or piston in the cylinder wall. If any improper vibrations are occurring from improper fuel/air combustion, e.g. too rich, too lean, too much or not enough compression, etc., then the knock sensor measures the imperfection, and tells the PCM or ECM how to correct the issue. If the knock sensor is not installed and working, then such conditions cannot be measured. Sure, the engine will still run, but if the piston and cylinder begin to wear improperly in the cylinder wall, or any other issue needs to be corrected, your car will be unable to regulate these things in whichever bank the problems are occurring. Keep them both working! Hope this helps!
