  Q: How to install the knock sensor and related components on Toyota Prius?

  A:

  Secure the knock sensor with the nut following correct orientation before torquing to 20 Nm (204 kgf-cm, 15 ft-lbf). After securely attaching the knock sensor connector will be the next step. For installing the intake manifold you should apply a new gasket onto the cylinder head before bolting the manifold into position using 3 bolts and 2 nuts which need a torque setting of 20 Nm (204 kgf-cm, 15 ft-lbf). The process starts by fixing the No. 1 fuel vapor feed hose to its clamp followed by attaching the harness clamp bracket with a 9.0 Nm (92 kgf-cm, 80 in-lbf) bolt torque before adding connector clamps and three wire harness clamps. Reconnect all the mounting cables beginning with the Throttle Position Sensor along with the throttle control motor and ending with the No. 2 water by-pass hose and water by-pass hose and No. 1 fuel vapor feed hose and No. 2 ventilation hose and ventilation hose. The oil dipstick guide needs a new O-ring smeared with thin engine oil before bolt installation with 9.0 Nm (92 kgf-cm, 80 in-lbf) torque while checking for cracked or jammed O-ring condition. Fasten the wire harness clamp while installing the dipstick into position. Once the air cleaner assembly fits into place, reconnect the negative battery terminal cable then add coolant through inspection of any possible leakage. The engine should be installed beneath the LH under cover alongside the radiator support opening cover. Part of the procedure requires running initialization sequences because systems need it after battery lead cable disconnect and reconnect at the negative (-) terminal.
