How Does a Knock Sensor Function and Require Servicing on Dodge Charger?

Before handling the knock sensor, remove the negative battery cable. The sensor sits on the cylinder block right underneath the intake manifold, with the cylinder head attached on the passenger side, so take them out first. After that, take out the knock sensor by removing the connectors and using a crows foot socket. Put the new knock sensor into the cylinder block and tighten it to 10 N.m (7 ft. lbs.) so that you do not have any issues managing the engine's spark control. Once you've secured the sensor, plug back in the electrical connector, put back the passenger side cylinder head and then the intake manifold before reconnecting the negative battery cable.

How to Install a Knock Sensor and Its Related Components on Dodge Charger?

Start by putting the knock sensor (3) and nut (2) onto stud (1) and tightening the nut with 15 Nm (11 ft. lbs.) force to prevent problems. After that, connect the knock sensor to the electrical connector. Align the water housing outlet tube (4) with the cylinder heads and put in four loose bolts (1), then clip the tube onto the retaining clip (6) at the back of the engine. Screw in the four bolts (1) until the torque is 3 Nm (30 in. lbs.). Attach the electrical connector (2) to the coolant temperature sensor, then install heater hose (5) on the water housing outlet tube (4) in the back of the engine and the last part is to attach the radiator upper hose (3) to that same tube. Now, proceed to fit the intake manifold. Following this, use the negative battery cable and tighten its nut to 5 Nm (45 in. lbs.). Top up the cooling fluid and try out the engine until it reaches regular temperature. Check the cooling system for its normal fluid level.

The Knock Sensor in Dodge Charger is important in the performance of the engine since it is responsible in sensing knock at the engine, this is a situation where ignition timing is wrong. This device communicates with the PCM with a view of allowing the PCM to alter the ignition period in a bid to reduce explosive forces occasioned by detonation. Ordinarily, Knock Sensors in a Dodge Charger employ piezoelectric style to change mechanical oscillations directly into electrical signals in order to monitor pressure surges as indication of knocking continuously. The Dodge Charger models used through the years incorporate sophisticated Knock Sensor systems where it is possible to set ignition point for each cylinder and control the boost pressure depending on the design of its engine. This makes it possible to achieve the premier possible performance and you no longer have to worry about the effects of using low quality fuels or being in unfavourable weather conditions on your engine. The Dodge Charger Knock Sensor plays a great role in increasing engine efficiency and avoiding any damage, thus demonstrating the advancement of technology in today's motorized combustion engines.
