Q: How to replace the Knock Sensor on Toyota 4Runner?
A: The first step to change the Knock Sensor involves detaching both the Cylinder Head Sub-Assembly and Heater Water Inlet Hose A. Proceed by removing Water Outlet Pipe No.1 through wire harness clamp detachment and bolt removal that secures the pipe. Begin by removing both knock sensor connectors followed by removing the bolts to uninstall the two knock sensors. Reattach the 2 knock sensors using the 2 bolts which should be torqued to 20 N.m (204 kgf.cm, 15 ft.lbf) after connecting their respective connectors. Begin by torquing Water Outlet Pipe No.1 to 10 N.m (102 kgf.cm, 7 ft.lbf) and completing Heater Water Inlet Hose A reinstallation followed by Cylinder Head Sub-Assembly reinstallation.
Q: How to replace the knock sensor on Toyota Camry?
A: The first step for knock sensor replacement requires engine coolant drainage before removing the air cleaner cap together with the air cleaner hose. You must disconnect the throttle body along with the intake manifold by removing 5 bolts and the 2 nuts. Afterward remove both the intake manifold and gasket. To change out the knock sensor start by disconnecting its connector before removing and unthreading the retaining nut. First fasten the new knock sensor with the nut while applying 20 N.m (204 kgf.cm, 15 ft.lbf) torque and then connect the knock sensor connector. Use new gaskets when installing the intake manifold with the 5 bolts and 2 nuts where torque reaches 30 N.m (306 kgf.cm, 22 ft.lbf). You should replace the throttle body assembly then reinstall it together with the air cleaner cap and the air cleaner hose. Check the vacuum hose connections before adding engine coolant then verify there are no engine coolant leaks.
Q: How to remove the Knock Sensor on Toyota Tacoma?
A: The first step to remove the Knock Sensor from the 2TR-FE engine control system begins with disconnecting the negative battery cable. For 4WD and Pre-Runner models remove the engine under cover sub-assembly to start the drain of engine coolant. Start the process by taking off the intake air connector followed by the throttle with motor body assembly. Before proceeding remove the fuel hose along with fuel hose No.2. Start by detaching the fuel vapor feed hose from the VSV followed by the vacuum hose and bolt and clamp bracket and water by-pass hose No. 2 and ventilation hose No. 3 and VSV connector from the intake manifold. Users must unfasten the engine wire harness clamp in addition to disconnecting the magnetic compressor connector when air conditioning is present. First disconnect three connectors while removing the bolt and harness clamp bracket. Then remove the nut which is shown in the illustration. Merely disconnect the engine wire harness from the relay block followed by removing the intake manifold through five bolts and two nuts. Completion of the knock control sensor removal requires disconnecting its connector and removing the securing bolt.
