Engine Check Light by azubyky: 10:12am On Apr 08, 2015
Hello people, I would love a us to discuss issues about engine check light which somtime make us uneasy when it comes on. I drive a 2005 Honda odyssey touring Edition it run smoothly until recently it started consuming more fuel and the Engine check light came up. A diagnostic scan was done on it and came out it was the knock senor. My question is what damage can this knock sensor cause to my car because my mechanic was telling I should disregad dat is nomal it comes on as a result of age on the car. but I don't want to takEe dat that is why am asking the house if I can be elighten and also for the benefit of those that might have similar challenge.

Knock sensor is located behind the block engine near the fire wall, used buy the engine ecm to drtect engine vibrations (pinging) and adjust timing.

Presentll the output from your knock sesor is nill or below 0.5v that's why u have a check engine light.

Another case of "Kazeem" proffering rubbish/no solution to subject matter

Good thing an "anti-kazeem" is up for the rescue

That your scan result gives knock sensor code doesn't mean it must be a knock sensor issue. Any issue that can cause detonation/pinging can also trigger knock sensor error code e.g EGR issue , engine running lean etc .What matters is the descriptive text that follow the knock sensor issue .E.g "Knock sensor circuit malfunction'' really means u have a sensor issue or connector issue.

Go under your well supported vehicle.
Above where you have your oil filter,is your knock sensor..

Disconnect the wire harness and with a 24 socket, remove and replace.

When you do dat, reset ecu, you won't get that code again.

Cheers.

Car becomes sluggish and has delayed response b4 take off so yes it would affect fuel consumption very greatly, there's likely to be engine damage with if you continue using the vehicle that way.
