Delphi AS10196 Ignition Knock (Detonation) Sensor

Ignition Knock Sensor Overview

The Delphi AS10196 ignition knock sensor is built for direct sensor replacement in supported Mitsubishi applications. It uses OE-calibrated testing methods to deliver accurate signal readings for engine knock detection.

Compatible With Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross, Mitsubishi Mirage, and Mitsubishi Mirage G4 applications listed below, this sensor supports precise engine management where knock detection is required. The AS10196 is part of Delphi's sensor portfolio, which is validated to OE standards for consistent performance.

Key Features

• Blade terminals with a rectangular, male connector for a secure electrical interface.
• Single-connector design with two terminals for straightforward sensor connection.
• Screw-mount construction for a stable installation point.
• OE-standard calibration and validation for accurate readings.
• Delphi sensor engineering backed by a broad OE-focused sensor lineup.

Detailed Description

Delphi AS10196 is an ignition knock sensor for Mitsubishi vehicles that rely on accurate detonation feedback to manage ignition timing. It is engineered with a rectangular male connector, blade terminals, and screw mounting to match the specified application requirements. This part cross-references Mitsubishi 1865A014 for the same application. The AS10196 is listed for 2014-2015 Mitsubishi Mirage, 2017-2024 Mitsubishi Mirage, 2017-2024 Mitsubishi Mirage G4, 2018-2020 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross, and 2022-2024 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross applications.

What It Helps Address

• Knock sensor fault codes related to inaccurate detonation signal input.
• Rough engine operation caused by incorrect ignition timing adjustments.
• Reduced drivability from inconsistent engine knock detection.
• Sensor replacement needs when the original unit no longer reads accurately.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector shape, terminal count, and mounting style against the original sensor before installation. Confirm the listed Mitsubishi application and part number AS10196 before ordering. No mounting hardware or wiring harness is included unless explicitly stated in the product data.

Quality Assurance

Delphi tests and calibrates its sensors to OE standards and uses stringent development and validation methods to support accurate readings and reduce comebacks.
