How to Service and Repair a Knock Sensor in 2.0 and 2.4L Engines on Dodge Avenger?

The first step in fixing the knock sensor on both engines is to take out the negative battery cable. The following step is to un bolt the sensor, lift it out and do not disconnect the electronic wires until it is removed. Then, take out the electrical connector from the knock sensor and remove the knock sensor completely in the end.

How to Locate and Install a Knock Sensor on 2.0 and 2.4L Engines on Dodge Avenger?

A knock sensor for the 2.0 and 2.4L engines is set into the side of the cylinder block, in front of the starter near the bottom of the intake manifold. Attach the electrical connection to the knock sensor first, install the knock sensor and tighten the bolt until it reaches 22 Nm (195 in. lbs.), since under or over tightening can cause the sensor to fail and stop the spark system from functioning correctly. Make sure to connect the negative battery cable as the last step.
