STANDARD MOTOR PRODUCTS KS159 ignition knock (detonation) sensor for the 2000-2006 Toyota Camry V6 3.0L and other vehicles detects engine knock and signals the engine computer. It screws in and plugs into the engine wiring.
- Every sensor goes through accelerometer-based vibration testing
- An automated data acquisition system monitors sensor output during manufacturing to confirm the correct voltage at the specified frequency range
- Responds to knock frequencies up to 1000 Hz, so it follows shifts in engine knock frequency over a broad range of vehicle conditions
- Roll-formed body with anvil stakes and die-formed ridges under them in the hex cover to resist rotation
