Ignition Knock (Detonation) Sensor for 2001-2005 Kia Rio - Standard KS215

Guard your engine against damaging detonation with the Standard Ignition Ignition Knock (Detonation) Sensor KS215. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2001-2002 Kia Rio (L4-1.5L) and the 2003-2005 Kia Rio (L4-1.6L). This sensor bolt-mounts to the engine and detects the vibration frequencies produced by knock, sending a voltage signal the engine control module uses to adjust ignition timing.

• 100% tested: every unit is checked with an accelerometer vibration test to help ensure trouble-free operation.
• Broad knock response: designed to respond to knock frequencies up to 1000 Hz, accommodating shifts in engine knock frequency across a range of driving conditions.
• Monitored output: an automated data-acquisition system monitors sensor output during manufacturing to confirm appropriate voltage at the specified frequency range.
• Bolt-mount fit: attaches directly through a bolt mount, with a single rectangular female connector and three male blade terminals. Mounting hardware is not included — consult the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners and whether they may be reused.

Signs the original sensor may need replacing can include an illuminated check engine light with a stored knock-sensor trouble code or reduced engine performance; diagnose the cause first, and if a failed knock sensor is to blame, this replaces it. Manufacturer part number KS215. Country of origin: Taiwan.
