NTK ID0166 ignition knock (detonation) sensor for the 1994-2006 Toyota Camry V6 3.0L and other vehicles picks up the vibration of engine knock and signals the ignition timing to be delayed. Pulling the timing back helps prevent severe engine damage from detonation.
- Piezoelectric crystal generates a varying voltage based on engine vibration intensity
- Reinforced components reduce the chance of part failure and prevent corrosion and moisture penetration
- Shielded harness prevents electrical interference
- Manufactured to operation performance standards for proper ignition timing
Quick facts
- Part: NTK ID0166 ignition knock (detonation) sensor
- Fits: 1994-2006 Toyota Camry V6 3.0L and other vehicles
A lit check engine light, engine hesitation or poor fuel economy can mean a knock sensor needs replacing, but each has other possible causes. Before replacing the sensor, look over its wiring and connector for damage or corrosion with the engine off and cool.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the NTK ID0166 knock sensor fit a 1995-2004 Toyota Tacoma V6 3.4L?
Yes. NTK ID0166 is listed for the 1995-2004 Toyota Tacoma V6 3.4L, and that truck takes two sensors.
What makes the NTK ID0166 sensor detect detonation?
A piezoelectric crystal inside NTK ID0166 generates a varying voltage based on how intensely the engine vibrates. That signal is used to delay the ignition timing.
Is the harness on this knock sensor shielded against interference?
Yes. The shielded harness prevents electrical interference, and reinforced components are used to prevent corrosion and moisture penetration.
What signs can point to a worn knock sensor?
A check engine light, engine hesitation or a failed emissions test can mean this sensor needs replacing. These signs can also come from other parts.
Does the NTK ID0166 knock sensor come with a warranty?
Yes. NTK backs the ID0166 sensor with a 3 year/36,000 mile warranty.
