Detailed Description

The Motorad 1KS1102 knock sensor helps the engine control module detect detonation events so ignition timing can be adjusted correctly. That signal accuracy matters on vehicles such as the 2008-2012 Honda Accord, 2012-2013 Honda Crosstour, 2010-2011 Honda CR-V, and 2009-2010 Acura TSX. This part number, 1KS1102, is designed with quality piezoceramic elements and tight manufacturing tolerances to support consistent sensor response and long-term durability.

This part cross-references Standard Ignition KS372 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Knock sensor fault codes
• Erratic ignition timing caused by inaccurate knock detection
• Engine pinging or detonation-related drivability concerns
• Check engine light conditions tied to knock sensor signal issues
• Signal loss from a worn or damaged sensor connector interface

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector shape, terminal type, and threaded end diameter before installation. This sensor does not include mounting hardware or a wiring harness. Confirm the vehicle application by year, make, and model before ordering, especially for Honda Accord, Honda Crosstour, Honda CR-V, and Acura TSX fitments. Use proper torque and clean mounting surfaces to help ensure accurate sensor contact and signal transfer.
