• Q: How to remove the Knock Sensor on 2009 Scion xD?

  A: The first step to get rid of the Knock Sensor from the 2ZR-FE engine control system requires fuel system pressure discharge. Begin by disconnecting the negative battery cable and then proceed to take off engine under covers from both sides. The first step involves draining engine coolant before proceeding with the No. 2 cylinder head cover removal. You must remove the air cleaner cap sub-assembly along with its hose before separating the engine wire harness and disconnecting the harness bracket. Remove the fuel pipe clamp while disconnecting both the fuel tube sub-assembly and the No. 1 fuel vapor feed hose together with the vacuum hose. The mechanic must take away both the fuel delivery pipe sub-assembly and the No. 1 delivery pipe spacer. The mechanic must remove the flywheel housing side cover together with the injector vibration insulator and starter assembly. The first step is to uninstall the engine oil level dipstick and oil cooler tube when using automatic transaxle technology and transmission oil level gauge sub-assembly for automatic transaxle operations. The complete removal of the intake manifold happens after disconnecting four wire harness clamps together with water by-pass hoses along with the throttle body connector and ventilation hose before removing four bolts and two nuts holding the intake manifold and intake manifold stay. A knock sensor completes its removal by disconnecting its connector and removing the bolt and sensor itself.
