2003 Chevrolet Corvette Knock Sensors

ACDelco GM Original Equipment Ignition Knock (Detonation) Sensors monitor the engine for pinging or spark knock, and are GM-recommended replacements for your vehicle’s original components. These sensors create a voltage signal based on the vibrations caused by erratic air/fuel mixture combustion; the engine control module uses these signals to adjust the ignition timing and air/fuel mixture. These original equipment ignition knock sensors have been manufactured to fit your GM vehicle, providing the same performance, durability, and service life you expect from General Motors.

Delphi’s ever growing portfolio of high quality vehicle sensors are backed by stringent OE development and product validation methods. We offer a wide range of sensors, including ABS, camshaft, crankshaft, knock, EGT, MAP, temperature, throttle position, and vehicle speed sensors for a variety of vehicle applications. All of our sensors are tested and calibrated to OE standards, ensuring accurate readings, which helps to reduce comebacks.

Carquest Knock Sensors respond to a wide range of engine knock frequencies providing accurate engine condition to the ECM for optimal ignition timing. Highest quality piezoceramic element manufactured to tight tolerances for increased durability. All Carquest Knock Sensors are designed to meet or exceed OEM specifications at our ISO TS16949 manufacturing facilities.

The Ignition Knock (Detonation) Sensor monitors vibrations caused by engine knock or detonation to alter the ignition timing and prevent detonation. A piezoelectric crystal generates a varying voltage based upon engine vibration intensity to delay ignition timing to help prevent severe and costly engine damage. Reasons for replacement include check engine light illumination, engine hesitation, poor fuel economy or failed emissions test.
