Delphi AS10168 Ignition Knock (Detonation) Sensor

Delphi AS10168 Knock Sensor for Porsche

Delphi AS10168 is an ignition knock sensor built for precise engine monitoring in Porsche applications. It uses a 2-terminal, male-pin design with a square 1-connector layout and screw mounting for a direct-fit replacement where this configuration is specified.

Key Features

• Ignition knock (detonation) sensor for engine timing feedback
• Delphi OE-developed and OE-validated sensor design
• Tested and calibrated to OE standards for accurate readings
• Square connector shape with 1 male connector
• 2 male terminals with pin-style terminal type
• Screw-mounted design
• Package contents: ignition knock sensor

Detailed Description

The Delphi AS10168 knock sensor is engineered to monitor engine vibration signals and report detonation events to the engine management system. Accurate knock sensing helps the ECU adjust ignition timing as needed, supporting smoother operation and consistent performance in Porsche 718 Boxster, Porsche 718 Cayman, Porsche Cayenne, Porsche Macan, Porsche 911, Porsche Boxster, Porsche Cayman, Porsche Panamera, and Porsche 918 Spyder applications. This part number, AS10168, is a direct replacement option for vehicles that use the listed connector and mounting configuration.

This part cross-references Standard Ignition KS210 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Knock sensor fault codes related to detonation detection
• Erratic ignition timing caused by inaccurate sensor input
• Engine pinging or spark knock under load
• Reduced drivability from poor knock signal quality
• Check engine light concerns tied to the knock sensor circuit

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector shape, terminal count, and screw-mount style before installation. Inspect the harness and connector for corrosion, bent pins, or damaged locking tabs, and confirm the mounting surface is clean and secure. Use the vehicle service information for torque and location details, since knock sensor placement can vary by engine configuration.

Quality Assurance

Delphi backs this sensor with OE development and product validation methods, and each sensor is tested and calibrated to OE standards for accurate readings. That level of validation helps support reliable engine management feedback in Porsche fitments. Part number AS10168 is built to meet the electrical and signal requirements of the listed applications.
