What to do if Nissan knock sensor fails?
P0315 is a hard code knock sensor and indicates that the sensor has failed. To replace the sensor, use a quarter inch swivel and extension to loosen the 12 mm bolt. To perform a component check, first disconnect the knock sensor harness connector and check the resistance between terminal 2 and the ground.
Where is Nissan knock sensor code p1444 located?
Code P1444 indicates a problem with the Evap Purge Volume control solenoid. This is located on top of the intake plenum by the throttle cables. Check if the solenoid is working properly and if it is not, it will need replaced. Failure to detect Nissan knock sensor problems can result in serious damage to the engine.
What should the resistance of a knock sensor be?
The resistance should fall between 500-600 kΩ at 250C. You will need to use an ohmmeter that can measure more than 10MΩ. When replacing the knock sensor make sure that you are using new knock sensors that have not been dropped or damaged.
Which is Nissan knock sensor is the best?
Enter your VIN for the most accurate results. We offer a full selection of genuine Nissan Knock Sensors, engineered specifically to restore factory performance. Please narrow the Engine Knock Sensor results by selecting the vehicle.
Why does my Nissan club not detect engine knock?
If the engine is running properly, it vibrates the same regardless of worn motor mounts. The mounts just help to isolate the vibration from the cabin. Relocating the KS to get rid of the DTC is one thing but relocating it to where it cannot detect engine knock defeats its purpose.
Is there a way to bypass the knock sensor?
After researching I’m thinking that if I replace the sensor with a resistor of the same resistance of a working knock sensor the computer will think everything is OK and the DTC will go away. If the engine pings, big whoop de dooo as long as it’s not constantly doing it I’m not worried.
What happens to the timing on the knock sensor?
My understanding is that when detonation occurs a piezoelectric crystal in the sensor vibrates and sends an AC signal to the ECU telling it to retard the timing. The worse the detonation the more it vibrates and the more the timing is pulled.
