NTK ID0096 Ignition Knock (Detonation) Sensor

Ignition Knock Sensor Overview

NTK ID0096 is an ignition knock sensor for BMW applications that need accurate detonation detection and OE-style signal quality. It is built with a round connector, pin terminals, and an included wiring harness for a direct electrical interface.

Compatible With BMW 125i, 320i, 120i, 325Ci, 330Ci, X3, X5, Z4, 325i, 325xi, 330i, 330xi, 530i, 525i, Z3, 323i, 323Ci, 323ti, 328Ci, 328i, and 528i applications listed below. NTK ID0096 is a fitment-specific sensor for import and domestic coverage where knock control is critical.

Key Features

• Ignition knock sensor for detonation monitoring and engine control input.
• Round connector with 1 connector, 4 terminals, male connector gender, and female terminal gender.
• Wiring harness included for the sensor connection.
• Pin terminal design for the specified application.
• NTK technical sensor coverage backed by OE-focused engineering.

Detailed Description

NTK ID0096 is part of the NTK Ignition Knock (Detonation) Sensor line, which extends the brand’s technical sensor coverage under one premium sensor family. Drawing on OE experience, NTK subjects its sensors to thermal shock, vibration, and OBD verification testing to meet or exceed OE specifications. For BMW owners and technicians, this sensor supports accurate knock detection across a wide range of 3 Series, 5 Series, X Series, and Z Series applications.

This part cross-references Beck/Arnley 158-1066 and Standard Ignition KS242 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Knock sensor fault codes related to detonation detection.
• Unstable ignition timing caused by inaccurate sensor input.
• Engine performance issues tied to poor knock signal quality.
• Check engine light concerns linked to sensor circuit problems.
• Fitment mismatches when replacing the original BMW knock sensor.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector shape, terminal count, and harness style against the original sensor before installation. Confirm the exact BMW model and year listed in the fitment table, since this part is application-specific. Use the vehicle’s service information for proper sensor location and torque procedures.

Quality Assurance

NTK states that its technical sensors are tested under thermal shock, vibration, and OBD verification conditions and are manufactured to meet or exceed OE specifications. The NTK Ignition Knock (Detonation) Sensor line is supported by the brand’s OE supplier background and broad aftermarket sensor coverage.
