Installation Procedure
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
Important: When replacing the knock sensor, use the following recommended procedures:
• A dropped or over-torqued sensor is considered bad and should be replaced. • Inspect all of the connectors for any damaged terminals. • Clean all of the mounting surfaces before re-installing any components.
- Install the knock sensor (1) into the engine block.
- Connect the electrical connector to the knock sensor.
- Install the jumper harness connector.
