How to replace the Knock Sensor (KS) for Bank 2 on Chevrolet Monte Carlo?

Begin ks bank 2 installation by turning ignition off while raising the vehicle. First begin by removing splash shield bolts and draining your cooling system fluid. The first step involves the removal of two bolts which secure the Knock Sensor heat shield below the freeze plug or block heater (if these are installed). First disconnect the wiring harness connector from the Knock Sensor before you remove the sensor from its location on the engine block. Thermal insulation on the sensor threads prohibits the use of thread sealant during installation because proper detonation detection depends on the factory coating. Fit the Knock Sensor into the engine block while tightening it to 19 n.m (14 lb ft). Reverse the Knock Sensor heat shield by tightening its bolts to 60 n.m (44 lb ft). After installing the Knock Sensor electrical connector move to reinstall the splash shield and lower the vehicle. Complete the cooling system addition before examining the coolant's current level.

The Knock Sensor in Chevrolet Monte Carlo is a part of the engine which determines the occurrences of the knock and transmits it to the PCM for the required timings. More often piezoelectric, the sensor transforms the mechanical energy from vibrations to electrical signals to detect the pressure spikes that may denote knock. This means that with the help of Close Coupled Exhaust System, the right adjustments of the driving time can be made to achieve high results for the motor with the proper avoidance of damaging the motor even when using low octane gasoline. Sophisticated ones can change the engine's timings for each cylinder and manage boost pressure for the ultimate power, durability in diverse operating modes. Knock Sensor has an important function of helping to achieve high efficiency with the engine and prevent detonation in the process of ignition.
