Message	low. Think more like 500k ohms. The knock sensor is basically a crystal element that when vibrated generates a small voltage. The right vibration (ping) creates a signal the ECU recognizes so it can take action. This link explains how to test: [ http://www.zhome.com/ZCMnL/PICS/detonationSensor/detonationSensor.html ] The sensor is grounded through its mounting bolt — so only 1 wire on harness plug (sensor side) gets tested — ground your meters other resistance test lead to body ground (or negative terminal of battery). FYI - the reason the resistor trick works, the knock connector harness on ECU side of things is a two wire connector with 1 wire being ground.

Is your engine all - jzack 21:08:18 12/06/18 Also may want to take a look at this updated knock - jzack 21:17:52 12/06/18 Relocation kit: - Bernie (NoVA) 23:41:12 12/13/18
