Standard Ignition KS95 sensor for the 1988-1991 Toyota 4Runner V6 3.0L and other vehicles detects engine knock and reports it to the engine computer. The computer uses that signal to adjust ignition timing.
- 100% environmental, endurance and end-of-line testing for timing, pulse width and signal amplitude
- 100% tested with accelerometer-based vibration testing
- Advanced circuitry protects the system from stray electro-magnetic fields and power spikes
- Magnetic circuit programming calibrates the sensor during performance testing, which improves timing accuracy between target wheel and sensor output
- Integrated A/D converter and digital signal processing with a dynamically adaptive switch point
Quick facts
- Part: Standard Ignition KS95 sensor
- Fits: 1988-1991 Toyota 4Runner V6 3.0L and other vehicles
- Material: Cast iron
- Condition: New
A failing sensor can show up as a check engine light, pinging under load or a drop in power, though those signs can come from other parts too. Before replacing it, look over the connector, the wiring and the sensor body for cracks, corrosion or damage, with the engine off and cool.
Fits
The vehicles it fits include the 1988-1991 Toyota 4Runner V6 3.0L and the 1991 Toyota MR2 4-cylinder 2.0L, and it is also a sensor for the 1988-1991 Toyota Celica 4-cylinder 2.0L. This listing is one sensor; the number needed varies by vehicle, and the 1988-1991 Toyota 4Runner V6 3.0L takes one.
