Dodge Challenger Knock Sensor
Knock Sensor in Dodge Challenger is very key to the performance of engine because it indicates a condition known as knock which is caused by wrong ignition timing. This device transmits signal to the powertrain control module (PCM) allows the PCM to control ignition timing to prevent high levels of detonation. Normally the knock sensors are piezoelectric based, they act like pressure sensors that convert pressure pulses into electric signals to detect knocking conditions. Year by year, Dodge challenger models have benefited from the usage of the Knock Sensor technology which enables the fine-tuning of the ignition timing, including the individual cylinder. This capability allows the engine to run smoothly, to perform as well as possible while at the same time minimizing the likelihood of damage to the engine especially in conditions that denominative fuels of a lower octane rating. The Dodge Challenger Knock Sensor system helps to get fully guarantee that the taken engine operates easily under any circumstances, and for long.

Dodge Challenger Knock Sensor Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How to access and replace the knock sensor on Dodge Challenger?A:The knock sensor for V6 engines is positioned on top of the block, nestled in the valley between the cylinder heads, beneath the intake manifold, with 3.6L models utilizing two sensors: There are knock sensor 1 at the front and knock sensor 2 at the rear of the vehicle. To 2.7L and 3.5L engines, the first procedure includes releasing the fuel pressure and then, the loss of the battery cable connection. In 2.7L and 3.6L engines, it is necessary to disassemble both the upper and the lower intake manifolds, in case of the 3.5L engines, the upper intake manifold has only to be dismantled. For the 2007 and pre-2008 2.7L engines it is necessary to remove the right cylinder head and for 2008 and post 2008 2.7L engines it is only necessary to disconnect the hoses and water outlet tube which is located beneath the intake ports on the cylinder heads to the knock sensors. In 3.6L engines, it is recommended that oil filter housing should be removed. Remove the electrical connector from the knock sensor and for 2007 and earlier 2.7L engine models, unscrew the sensor from the cylinder head while for 3.5L and 3.6L model remove the mounting fastener to pull out the knock sensor or sensors. The mounting bolts used for knock must not be over or under tightened because they directly influence the performance of shock absorbers and the capacity of the PCM to control sparks. Installation is reversed in the order of removal and thus maintaining the right torque on the knock sensor/fastener. The knock sensors are installed for the V8 engines on two sides of the block and below the exhaust manifold. Shove the front of the vehicle up on jackstands and take off the galvanized heat shield that covers up the knock sensor. Unplug the electrical connector of the knock sensor, take out the bolt and the sensor. All the foam strips located on the mounting bolt threads are meant for tight fixation of the bolt during assembly, there is no need to apply any adhesive or sealant. Likewise, do not overtighten or loose the mounting bolts for the effective working of the sensor or overtorque while re-tightening.
