Question
How to diagnose faulty knock sensor in performance gasoline engines?
Answer
Monitor knock sensor voltage and test for engine detonation.
Explain
Performance engines (e.g., Subaru WRX) stress knock sensors. CHEPQ tools measure sensor voltage (0.5-1.0V at idle) and detect detonation via audio analysis—replacing the sensor prevents engine damage from unregulated knock.
