Knock sensor

[VTec1987]

Hey

Im just wondering, i got and new knock sensor for my engine because my old one broke. Can i relocated my new one some where else as long thats it attached to the engine?

Would it still work and does its job?

no... it's ability to sense "knock" would be hindered...

put your hand on a table and 'knock' your other next to it against the table.. feel it?

now leave your other hand there and knock say 50cm away... feel it as well?

Don't get what your saying man,
I relocated but its still on the block. It will definately knock when the engine is on.

WOULD IT STILL WORK

ALso the connection that goes to the knock sensor from the ecu, Is it GND signal throwing from the ecu in D6 from obdIIa?

He said it before, listen to him. It won't work AS WELL as it did before it the original position.

Meaning if you move it to another spot, it won't work correctly. Honda put it there specifically because it works best there.

that's right.

a knock sensors ability to detect knock is based on sudden movement hence why they are located in their optimum spots usually near the CC where knock occurs....

BUT... it depends where your re-locating and how you plan on doing so....

I personally have mine bypassed via the ecu....

[dsp26]

actually how are you relocating it?? and where do you propose to have it?

[Phuong1987]

i got the same problem, how you bypass

[VTec1987]

Well i look under the car, i see theres a hole for a nut to go in and its empty, ( the holes got threads) so i screw the knock sensor in there.

How do you bypass it from the ecu? Or you mean disable it from the rom? I got a P72

[ECU-MAN]

you have to modify the ecu then edit the ROM with a rom editor then create a new rom and fit it to the ECU.
