Chevrolet Equinox Knock Sensor

Knock Sensor in Chevrolet Equinox is used to monitoring of engine knock, which results from improper ignition timing in the engine. This device communicates to the powertrain control module (PCM) to allow for the adjustment of the ignition timing to reduce excess detonation. As a rule, Knock Sensor is piezoelectric turning oscillations into electric signals which are checked for pressure impulses characteristic of knocking at all times. In the course of the years, several Equinox models have incorporated such knock detection systems that are capable of increasing ignition timings on specific cylinders as well as vary boost pressure on account of the engine design. These systems work with maximum efficiency for the engine and with minimum risk of GC damage at the same time, with the help of lower octane fuels. All these technologies help to make the Chevrolet Equinox as efficient as possible regardless of the condition it is being used in and also ensures the durability of the engine.

Each OEM Chevrolet Equinox Knock Sensor we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
