  Q: How to service the knock sensor on Scion xA?

  A: Service of the knock sensor starts with a 90-second wait after disconnecting the negative cable from the battery terminal to avoid Air Bag and seat belt pretensioner activation. Start by removing the engine under cover from both left-hand and right-hand sides of the vehicle and then remove the starter assembly. The sensor connector should be disconnected and the nut and sensor need to be removed. The installation process starts with torquing the new knock sensor and its nut to 20 N.m (204 kgf.cm, 15 ft.lbf) before connecting the sensor connector. Reinstall the starter assembly before installing the engine under covers RH and LH and ending with reconnection of the cable to the negative battery terminal. Users should conduct an initialization process after the cable because some systems need it when disconnecting and reconnecting cables.
