Sensor, Knock: Removal: 3.7L

NOTE:
  • The left sensor is identified by an identification tag (LEFT) (2). It is also identified by a larger bolt head. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) must have and know the correct sensor left/right positions. Do not mix the sensor locations.
  • The two knock sensors (1) are bolted into the cylinder block under the intake manifold. The two sensors share a common wiring harness using one electrical connector (3). Because of this, they must be replaced as a pair.
