Where is the knock sensor on 2000 Nissan Frontier?
The knock sensor is located under the intake manifold.
Where is the knock sensor located on a 99 Nissan Frontier?
The knock sensor on that engine is under/behind the intake manifold in the middle of the block. The books say to remove the intake to replace but it isn’t necessary. You can remove the throttle body and using a 14MM socket on a 6″+ extension with a swivel, remove it and replace it.
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.
Is there an engine that does not have a knock sensor?
There are plently of engines out there that don’t have knock sensors and run just fine. When pinging occurs all you have to do is back off the throttle. I’d rather not have this junk sensor and have a smoother running engine. Glad to hear you finally pinned down that 2500rpm problem.
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.
What’s the best way to bypass a sensor?
The best way to bypass a sensor is to first understand the sensor. As this happens to be my field….
