Detailed Product Overview

NTK ID0297 is engineered to report engine knock signals to the vehicle’s control system so timing adjustments can be made when detonation is detected. That helps maintain smooth operation in applications such as 2007-2013 Jeep Liberty, 2007-2010 Dodge Ram 1500, and 2002-2009 Mini Cooper. It also serves additional Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, Mitsubishi, and Volkswagen coverage, making it a practical OE-style replacement for a wide range of import and domestic vehicles.

This part cross-references Standard Ignition KS191 and KS353 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Knock sensor fault codes related to detonation signal loss
• Engine pinging or spark knock under load
• Rough running caused by incorrect ignition timing correction
• Check engine light concerns tied to knock sensor circuit issues
• Intermittent drivability problems from a failing sensor or connector

Installation Notes and Tips

• Verify connector shape, terminal count, and harness length before installation.
• Inspect the mounting surface and surrounding wiring for damage or corrosion.
• Use the vehicle service information for the correct torque and sensor location.
• Clear diagnostic trouble codes after installation and confirm proper operation with a scan tool.
• Confirm vehicle coverage by year, make, and model before ordering.

Quality Assurance

NTK draws on more than 80 years of automotive experience and OE sensor development. ID0297 is manufactured and validated to meet or exceed OE specifications, with testing that includes thermal shock, vibration, and OBD verification for dependable sensor performance.
