Knock Sensor
Description
The knock sensor is attached to the cylinder block. The knock sensor is designed to detect engine vibration that is
caused by detonation.
Operation
When the knock sensor detects a knock in one of the cylinders, it sends an input signal to the ECM. In response, the
ECM retards ignition timing for all cylinders by a scheduled amount.
Knock sensors contain a piezoelectric material which constantly vibrates and sends an input voltage (signal) to the
ECM while the engine operates. As the intensity of the vibration increases, the knock sensor output voltage also
increases.
The voltage signal produced by the knock sensor increases with the amplitude of vibration. The ECM receives an
input knock sensor voltage signal. If the signal rises above a predetermined level, the ECM will store that value in
memory and retard ignition timing to reduce engine knock. If the knock sensor voltage exceeds a present value, the
ECM retards ignition timing for all cylinders. It is not a selective cylinder retard.
The ECM ignores knock sensor input signal during engine idle conditions. Once the engine speed exceeds a spec-
ified value, knock retard is allowed.
Removal & Installation
1. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable.
2. Disconnect the knock sensor electrical connector.
3. Remove the knock sensor retaining bolt (1) andremove the knock sensor.
(Tighten: Knock sensor retaining bolt to 20 N·m).

Oxygen Sensor
Description
This vehicle is equipped with two oxygen sensors (upstream oxygen sensor & downstream oxygen sensor). The oxy-
gen sensors are located before and after the three way catalyst. The oxygen sensors continually monitor the oxygen
level in the exhaust gas. The sensor is made of ceramic zirconia. The zirconia generates voltage from approximately
1 volt in richer conditions to 0 volt in leaner conditions.
Operation
The O2 sensors produce voltages from 0 to 1 volt, depending upon the oxygen content of the exhaust gas. When a
large amount of oxygen is present (caused by a lean air/fuel mixture, can be caused by misfire and exhaust leaks),
the sensors produces a low voltage. When there is a lesser amount of oxygen present (caused by a rich air/fuel
mixture, can be caused by internal engine problems) it produces a higher voltage. By monitoring the oxygen content
and converting it to electrical voltage, the sensors act as a rich-lean switch.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The oxygen sensors are equipped with a heating element that keeps the sensors at proper operating temperature
during all operating modes. Maintaining correct sensor temperature at all times allows the system to enter into closed
loop operation sooner. Also, it allows the system to remain in closed loop operation during periods of extended idle.
Upstream Oxygen Sensor
The input from the upstream heated oxygen sensor tells the Engine Control Module (ECM) the oxygen content of the
exhaust gas. Based on this input, the ECM fine tunes the air-fuel ratio by adjusting injector pulse width.
Downstream Oxygen Sensor
The downstream heated oxygen sensor signal is used to detect catalytic convertor deterioration. As the convertor
deteriorates, the signal from the downstream sensor begins to match the upstream sensor signal except for a slight
time delay. By comparing the downstream heated oxygen sensor signal to the signal from the upstream sensor, the
ECM calculates catalytic convertor efficiency. This calculation is also used to establish the upstream O2 goal voltage
(switching point).

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Disconnect the oxygen sensor electrical connector.
CAUTION:
Remove the oxygen sensor after the exhaust pipe has cooled.
3. Remove the upstream oxygen sensor (1).(Tighten: Upstream oxygen sensor to 45 N·m)

Description
The Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor senses the protrusion of inlet valve cam sprocket to identify a particular cyl-
inder. The CMP sensor senses the piston position. When the Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor becomes inoperative,
the CMP sensor provides various controls of engine parts instead, utilizing timing of cylinder identification signals.
The sensor consists of a permanent magnet and Hall IC.
Operation
When engine is running, the high and low parts of the teeth cause the gap with the sensor to change. The changing
gap cause the magnetic field near the sensor to change. Due to the changing magnetic field, the voltage from the
sensor changes. The Engine Control Module (ECM) detects the voltage signal and identify piston position and cyl-
inder timing.
Removal & Installation
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Disconnect camshaft position sensor electrical connector from the wiring harness connector.
3. Remove the camshaft position sensor retaining bolt(1).
(Tighten: Camshaft position sensor retaining bolt to

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Air Flow Sensor
Description
The air flow sensor is placed in the air intake hose. The air flow sensor measures the intake flow rate by measuring
a part of the entire intake flow. The air flow sensor converts the amount of air drawn into the engine into a voltage
signal. The Engine Control Module (ECM) needs to know intake air volume to calculate engine load. This is neces-
sary to determine how much fuel to inject.
Operation
The air flow sensor controls the temperature of the hot wire to a certain amount. The heat generated by the hot wire
is reduced as the intake air flows around it. The more air, the greater the heat loss. Therefore, the electric current
supplied to the hot wire is changed to maintain the temperature of the hot wire as air flow increases. The ECM
detects the air flow by means of this voltage signal change.
Removal & Installation
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Disconnect air flow sensor electrical connectorfrom the wiring harness connector.
3. Remove the air flow sensor retaining bolts (1). (Tighten: Air flow sensor retaining bolt to 8 N·m)
