2009 Toyota FJ Cruiser Knock Sensor Parts Q&A

• Q: How to install the knock sensors and complete the assembly process on 2009 Toyota FJ Cruiser?

  A: Start by installing the 2 knock sensors through 2 bolts secured with 20 Nm (204 kgf-cm, 15 ft-lbf) torque while connecting the 2 knock sensor connectors. The installation process requires you to attach the No. 1 water outlet pipe using 3 bolts at 10 Nm (102 kgf-cm, 7.4 ft-lbf) torque and to connect 4 wire harness clamps. The heater water inlet hose must be joined to the water outlet pipe. Start with checking the cylinder head set bolt before installing the cylinder head gasket followed by the cylinder head sub-assembly. After installing the No. 2 camshaft bearing you should mount the Bank 1 camshafts before moving on to the No. 2 chain tensioner assembly. After the Bank 1 camshaft timing gears and the No. 2 chain install the mechanic should proceed to mount the water by-pass joint RR next along with the intake manifold. Take necessary steps to connect both the No. 2 fuel pipe sub-assembly and the No. 1 fuel pipe sub-assembly. The service procedure begins by installing exhaust manifold sub-assembly RH and manifold stay before adding the front exhaust pipe assembly and completing with the No. 2 front exhaust pipe assembly. Exhaust pipe stopper brackets along with the No.1 cool air inlet should be installed on 4WD models. The chain sub-assembly needs to be installed before checking fuel leaks and exhaust gas leaks while inspecting ignition timing alongside engine idling speed checks and compression and CO/HC examinations and front wheel alignment assessment.
