    Well done. Thank you for the information. Your a good man for sharing information like this to people who cannot afford to get their vehicles done in a shop. I know that sometimes, troubleshooting gets a bit expensive when you don't really understand the component and its function and relation to other components. The understanding or knowledge is the reason why mechanics gets the same bad rep as car salesman. Mechanic's lack the knowledge (or does not want to update their skills) and their trial and error style of troubleshooting results in the expense getting out of control which makes the costumer unhappy and doubtful. Well to make this short, there are 3 kinds of mechanics out there: 1 - the trial and error kind; 2 - the know what the problem but makes it look really bad to get more money; and 3 - your kind of a mechanic, the kind that has good principles (willing to share knowledge and for sure fair enough to customers). Your a good man. thanks again

    Thanks in large part to your great videos, Brian, my '95 Honda Accord EX with nearly 300k miles is running tip top. Thanks especially for your Accord VTEC water pump replacement video. I jumped in way over my head with that one and your video helped me through it and saved my car. Now with nothing to fix at the moment, I still watch your videos (like this one) to: 1) become more knowledgeable in general when it comes to cars and 2) for pure entertainment value! You should be on prime time television my friend. Thanks so much for doing these videos... I know a lot of hard work goes into filming and editing each one. It is greatly appreciated. Peace!

    Hey Brian, great work!!! i think knock started appearing mainly due to the low octane fuels as lead was banned (being toxic and damaging the catalytic converters). Cheers!

    Brian I have had good luck with Standard/Bluestreak knock sensors for LS engines. Last one I did was my own 2500hd. I have yet been able to remove the harness connector without it shattering so I always order a new harness. It's quite expensive paying someone to change them out so going with a factory part is probably worth it. Great info 👍

    Thanks a ton for the video, I just went through the painstaking process of replacing the knock sensors on a 06 2500HD. I went with the OEM from the dealership (GM Part No.), Bench tested both with a multimeter before install and at various points during installation. So far so good!

  • @PineHollowAutoDiagnostics
    @PineHollowAutoDiagnostics 9 ปีที่แล้ว +12

    Great explanation video, Brian! I like the knock sensor bench test with the vice. The only thing you really need to confirm proper knock sensor operation is an OSCILLOSCOPE! The voltmeter on the AC scale only gives you a general amplitude of the signal. A faulty knock sensor may still produce the right amplitude, but the signal will be very erratic and choppy instead of a smooth sine wave.
    Recently had an '01 Lexus RX300 in the shop with an intermittent P0330-Knock Sensor Bank 2 code. On the bench, both B1 and B2 sensors showed a similar signal. However, zooming in on the waveforms, B2 looked more like a ragged square wave compared to B1 which was a smooth sine wave...pretty awesome. No other way to confirm the fault. Knowledge is power!

    The technology in use in the knock sensor was invented by French Physicist Paul Langevin in 1917 and was first used to detect submarines underwater. All the components of it had been studied since the 1890's, but he was was the first one to put it all together.

    Thank you Brian. My Toyota Tacoma has a knock sensor P0325 fault. Fortunately it's a 2.7 4- cylinder. With a low profile ratchet i can R&R hopefully with out removing intake. A neahbor walked up and said "hay you got hesitation when you accelerate after shifting down?" I said YES but my scanner said it's the knock sensor. He said he repaced the No.4 spark plug wire and that solves the problem. HOLY SMOKES my spark plug wires are original. Stay tuned and thank you again. Conrad

    Back in the day... there have always been 2 knock sensors for your engine. They are installed on your head. One on the left and one on the right, typically. Their effectiveness was determined by each persons exposure to and duration of very loud noises like rock music, heavy equipment, etc. Mine are 60 years old and still work, although I do have some ringing in them now.

Cause I'm having the exact issue on my 5.3 at 70mph that I'm currently trying to diagnose and only can get it to do it at that speed. And also I saw you at the Utah auto expo by the Nissan Titan diesel!!!

Now it don’t ping with 87 octane but the MIL is on for “low input”bank 1 &2.

  • @tobeysdonutshop8251
    @tobeysdonutshop8251 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Good vid. Lots of info but I respectfully disagree with 2 things... Knock sensors came with fuel deregulation after 1978 when pump gas went from 103 octane premium down to 87 octane regular. Octane level determines gasoline's resistance to detonation. Compression was lowered initially, but much power was lost. Computers and sensors allowed some of that to be reclaimed. Next item- turbo and blower engines are usually LOW static compression. This allows more room in the combustion chamber for a bigger air/fuel charge. Your compression is determined by the speed and ratio of your supercharger or turbo. Your rpm is limited by the fuel's octane and where detonation begins. An engine with higher compression will have less power gain by adding a turbo/blower than a low compression engine. A naturally aspirated engine with 10:1 compression will make more HP on a dyno using 93 octane than it will using 110 octane race gas. Proven fact. Excessive octane slows the rate of combustion and makes less power. Use just enough octane for your compression ratio and no more and you will make more power.
