Automobile engines are complicated machines. They require a multitude of belts, fluids, moving parts and chain reactions all occurring in the correct timing and rhythm for your car to run efficiently. If one device fails or if a part doesn't move at the precise time it needs to, the car may not run correctly or the engine may be damaged. One of the components that is vital to your car running properly is the knock sensor.

Function
The knock sensor is a listening device located inside the engine near the intake manifold or the pistons that is designed to detect pressure inside the engine. The vibrations that it records as a result of this pressure are converted into voltage and sent to the car's engine control unit (ECU). This is to prevent detonation in the engine when the fuel/air mixture explodes too quickly and causes engine knock or "pinging." The ECU takes the information provided by the knock sensor and adjusts the ignition timing to the engine.

Components
The knock sensor is made of a piezoelectric element that has a coil around it. A wire connects the sensor directly to the ECU. When the element vibrates, it sends electric current through the wire to the ECU, which then interprets the reading. There is generally one knock sensor for every four cylinders in the engine.
