You'll find the knock sensor on the side of the cylinder block ahead of the starter. Unplug the electrical connector from the knock sensor, then use a crow foot socket to take the sensor out. When installing, put the new knock sensor into the same place and tighten it to 10 Nm (7 ft. lbs.) as loose or tight connections can cause the sensor to malfunction and control the spark incorrectly.

The Knock Sensor used in Dodge Caravan automobiles is quite important in the operation of the engine since it is tasked with the responsibility of sensing when an engine knock is taking place due to wrong ignition timing. This device is used to pass signals to the powertrain control module (PCM) so that the PCM can enrich the mixture and alter the ignition timing so as to reduce extreme detonation. Usually, Knock Sensors in Dodge Caravan are piezoelectric devices which transform mechanical oscillations, particularly knocks, to electrical signals to provide pressure spikes. Throughout the years Dodge Caravan models have incorporated high end Knock Sensor systems that include abilities like ignition timing capabilities for cylinders and management of boost pressure according to engine design. These modifications allow the premier cylinder firing in an area near the knock limit while using lower octane fuels and increases performance without accompanying dangers. The story of the development of Knock Sensor technology in Dodge Caravan vehicles shows that efforts have been made to keep the motor operating effectively and durable in different road situations.
