  Q: How to install the Knock Sensor and complete the associated components on Scion tC?

  A:

  Begin the knock sensor installation by orienting it correctly before securing it with the nut then proceed to attach the sensor connector. After fitting the intake manifold insulator to the cylinder block install a new gasket into the intake manifold while tightening its 5 bolts and 2 nuts to 30 Nm (305 kgf-cm, 22 ft-lbf). The installation process requires fitting the union to the check valve hose into the vacuum hose clamp followed by wire harness clamp installation and camshaft timing oil control valve connector connection and attaching the union to the check valve hose leading to the Brake Booster with proper paint mark and hose clamp orientation. After securing the heater water inlet hose to the cylinder head and heater radiator unit with a hose clamp, proceed to mount the outlet hose to the water by-pass pipe and heater radiator unit at the correct angle for the hose clamp and paint mark. The installation of the fuel tube requires connector alignment with the pipe along with continuous pushing until the "click" sound emerges while inspecting for object intrusion and debris before confirming the tube's security through pull tests. First install the bolt and clip onto the cowl body mounting bracket lower LH while applying torque of 13 Nm (135 kgf-cm, 10 ft-lbf). Next, place the Throttle Body and air cleaner cap and finally the fuel delivery pipe. The cowl top panel outer requires seven bolts installation which must be torqued to 13 Nm (135 kgf-cm, 10 ft-lbf). The wire harness clamp should then be secured before proceeding. Begin by tethering the cable to the negative battery terminal then add engine coolant and verify engine coolant and fuel leakages. The last phase of installation involves putting on the engine cover with the cowl top ventilator louver LH attached with a hood to cowl top seal followed by front wiper arm installation and front wiper arm head cap removal. System initialization procedures must be performed after negative battery terminal disconnection.
