The knock sensor is a critical component in your BMW's engine management system. Its primary function is to detect abnormal combustion events, commonly known as engine knock or detonation. This occurs when the air-fuel mixture ignites prematurely or unevenly within the cylinder. When the knock sensor detects these vibrations, it sends a signal to the engine control unit (ECU). The ECU then adjusts ignition timing and fuel mixture to prevent further knocking. This protective action is vital for safeguarding your engine from potential damage caused by excessive pressure and heat. This knock sensor, part number 13627566786, is designed to be a direct fit for compatible BMW models, ensuring easy installation and proper function. Maintaining a healthy knock sensor is essential for the longevity and efficiency of your BMW's engine.
