Motorad 1KS1032 Ignition Knock (Detonation) Sensor

Ignition Knock Sensor for Hyundai and Kia

The Motorad 1KS1032 ignition knock sensor monitors engine knock frequencies and sends accurate signal data to the ECM for ignition timing control. It is a direct-fit emission control sensor for select Hyundai Accent, Kia Rio, Kia Rio5, and Dodge Attitude applications from 2006-2011.

• Fits 2006-2011 Kia Rio5, N/A
• Fits 2010 Dodge Attitude, N/A
• Uses a precision piezoceramic sensing element built to tight tolerances
• Designed to meet or exceed OEM specifications
• Manufactured in ISO TS16949 facilities

How It Works

The Motorad 1KS1032 is built to detect a wide range of detonation frequencies so the engine control module can adjust ignition timing based on real combustion conditions. That helps maintain proper engine operation in vehicles such as the Hyundai Accent and Kia Rio while supporting consistent knock detection across the listed 2006-2011 applications.

This part cross-references Hyundai/Kia OE numbers 3925026900 and 3925226870 for the same application.

Common Symptoms It May Address

• Knock sensor fault codes
• Audible engine pinging or detonation
• Incorrect ignition timing response
• Rough engine performance related to knock signal errors
• Check engine light concerns tied to the knock sensor circuit

Installation Notes

Verify the connector style, mounting location, and engine application before installation. Clear diagnostic trouble codes after replacement and confirm the ECM receives a stable knock signal during a road test. For fitment confirmation, match the vehicle year, make, and model exactly to the listed applications for the Motorad 1KS1032.

Quality Assurance

Motorad designs this knock sensor to meet or exceed OEM specifications and manufactures it in ISO TS16949-certified facilities for controlled production quality and durability.
