Question
How to diagnose faulty knock sensor in diesel engines?
Answer
Monitor sensor voltage and test for engine detonation under load.
Explain
Diesel engine knock sensors detect pre-ignition. CHEPQ tools measure sensor voltage (0.5-1.0V under load) and detect detonation via audio analysis—replacing the sensor prevents engine damage.
