Delphi AS10216 ignition knock (detonation) sensor for the 2010 Chevrolet Equinox 4-cylinder 2.4L and other vehicles detects engine knock and sends a signal to the engine computer.
- Self-generating piezoelectric design that needs no power to the sensor
- Ground-isolated design with a 2 wire shielded harness that helps protect the sensor signal from electromagnetic interference (EMI)
- Sealed to withstand humidity, salt spray and automotive fluids
- Calibrated for a wide variety of frequencies to detect shifts and give accurate signals
- Helps protect the engine from damage caused by pre-ignition knocking and helps maximize engine performance with all fuels
Quick facts
- Part: Delphi AS10216 ignition knock (detonation) sensor
- Fits: 2010 Chevrolet Equinox 4-cylinder 2.4L and other vehicles
A check engine light, engine pinging or a drop in power can come from a failing knock sensor. Before you replace it, rule out damaged wiring, a loose connector and other causes of the same signs, because a new sensor will not fix those.
Fits
This knock sensor is a direct-fit replacement for the 2010 Chevrolet Equinox 4-cylinder 2.4L, the 2009-2010 Chevrolet Malibu 4-cylinder 2.4L and the 2010 Buick LaCrosse 4-cylinder 2.4L. Other Chevrolet, Buick, GMC, Pontiac, Saturn and Saab models are covered too, so open the "Vehicles it fits" section to check your exact model and engine.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Delphi AS10216 knock sensor fit a 2010 Chevrolet Equinox 4-cylinder 2.4L?
Yes. The Delphi AS10216 fits the 2010 Chevrolet Equinox 4-cylinder 2.4L, which takes one sensor. The "Vehicles it fits" section covers other models and engines.
Does this Delphi knock sensor need power to work?
No. The Delphi AS10216 is a self-generating piezoelectric sensor, so it needs no power supplied to the sensor.
Is the AS10216 knock sensor sealed against road salt and fluids?
Yes. This sensor is sealed to withstand humidity, salt spray and automotive fluids, and its 2 wire shielded harness helps protect the signal from EMI.
What can a failing knock sensor look like while driving?
A check engine light or engine pinging can be signs of a failing knock sensor. A shop can read the stored codes to see what is behind them.
Does the Delphi AS10216 knock sensor replace number 12621820?
Yes. 12621820 is one of the cross-reference numbers for the Delphi AS10216 ignition knock (detonation) sensor, so a search by that number leads to this part.
