The Knock Sensor in Dodge Ram 1500 cars is very essential in its functionality as it helps detect the knock in an engine, which is caused by wrong settings in ignition timing. This device transmits signals to the PCM so that it can increase the ignition timing in order to reduce severe detonation. Usually, the Dodge Ram 1500 integrates piezoelectric knock sensors, which keep pressure peaks and knock signals coming in as a continuous flow. Many years of the Dodge Ram 1500 has been using complex knock-sensoring technology where it is possible to control ignition timing per cylinder plus control boost power depending on the design of the engine. This results into optimal performance and durability of the engine including when using low octane gasoline. One perfect example of how combustion engines have evolved in modern day automobile manufacturing shelves is the Dodge Ram 1500 knock sensor system which balances between keeping efficient and minimizing damage.
Dodge Ram 1500 Knock Sensor Parts and Q&A
- Q: How to Correctly Remove and Install a Left Knock Sensor on Dodge Ram 1500?A:The left knock sensor is known by an ID tag marked LEFT and a larger bolt head and the PCM needs to recognize which sensor is which to avoid them getting mixed up. Before you remove the knock sensors, separate the dual pigtail harness from the engine wiring harness that is in the rear area of the engine. After that, pull out the Intake Manifold. Afterward, securely hold the light assembly and unscrew the sensor mounting bolts; note there is some foam on the bolt threads only for use during sensor assembly and is not meant to cover or seal the bolt, nor should you apply any adhesive or sealants to these bolts. Clean the holes where the sensors were held after removal and only after that, install the new ones into the cylinder block. Be careful not to tighten the sensor mounting bolts too much or too little, as it may interfere with the sensor's operation and your spark control; the specified torque for the 8mm bolt is actually quite low. Once the bolts are tightened according to the instructions, put back the intake manifold and attach the knock sensor cables to the end of the brick-looking assembly on the engine harness.
- Q: What Are the Steps and Precautions for Replacing a Knock Sensor on Dodge Ram 1500?A:Both knock sensors are fixed to the cylinder block underneath the Intake Manifold, sharing a common wiring harness and connector, so they should always be replaced simultaneously. Most people can easily recognize the left sensor because it is identified with an LEFT tag and has a larger bolt head. The module relies on proper detection of the left/right sensor positions, so it's important that you do not change their order. The intake manifold should be the first thing you remove. After that, disconnect the knock sensor dual pigtail harness from the engine wiring harness at the back of the engine. Irresponsibly remove both sensor bolts, bearing in mind that the foam exists just to grip the bolt in the area where the sensor mounts and it should not be treated with adhesives or sealants. Then, take out the sensors from the top of the engine.
