What is the purpose of a knock sensor on a 2001 Subaru Forester?

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

What causes rods to knock in a motor?

Usually worn out rod bearings. This can be caused by wear or repeated pinging. Usually, if there is knocking in the engine, you are not getting adequate oil to the engine. What is happening is that there is no oil to lubricate the rods and pistons as they are moving inside the head and so it is causing the knocking noise. If you have filled you oil and still hear the knocking, the main filter in the oil pan could be clogged. This happened to me. You do not want it to go on too long because you will blow your engine.
