The Knock Sensor is a critical component in your Ford vehicle's engine management system. Its primary function is to detect abnormal combustion events, commonly known as engine knock or pinging. When the sensor identifies this phenomenon, it sends a signal to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) or Engine Control Unit (ECU). The ECU then adjusts ignition timing to prevent further knocking. This process is vital for protecting your engine from potential damage caused by detonation. By maintaining optimal ignition timing, the knock sensor helps ensure your engine operates at peak performance and efficiency, while also contributing to reduced emissions. This specific knock sensor, part number 1358032, is designed to meet the rigorous standards of Ford vehicles. It offers reliable detection and signal transmission, ensuring the engine control unit receives accurate information to make necessary adjustments. Replacing a faulty knock sensor can resolve issues such as rough idling, poor acceleration, and the illumination of the check engine light.
