Delphi AS10272 ignition knock (detonation) sensor for the 2007-2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 V6 4.3L and other vehicles picks up engine knock vibration and sends a signal to the engine control unit. It is tested and calibrated to OE standards for accurate readings.
- Knock sensing that helps maximize engine performance with all fuels
- Helps protect the engine from damage caused by pre-ignition knocking
- Calibrated for a wide variety of frequencies to detect shifts and give accurate signals
- Sealed to withstand humidity, salt spray and automotive fluids
- Ground-isolated design with a 2-wire shielded harness that helps protect the signal from electromagnetic interference (EMI)
- Self-generating piezoelectric design that needs no power to the sensor
Quick facts
- Part: Delphi AS10272 ignition knock (detonation) sensor
- Fits: the 2007-2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 V6 4.3L and other vehicles
- Condition: New
A failing knock sensor can show up as a check engine light, pinging under load or a drop in performance, but those signs have other possible sources. Before buying, look over the harness and connector with the engine off and cool for damage, corrosion or a loose fit. If the sensor is the cause, this one replaces it, and a shop can run the electrical test.
