Detailed Description

Standard Ignition KS502 is an emission control sensor used to monitor engine knock and detonation signals so the engine control system can respond appropriately. This part number is listed for multiple late-model Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram platforms, including 2018-2025 Ram 1500, 2018-2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and 2018-2023 Dodge Charger applications. If you are replacing a failed knock sensor on a Chrysler Voyager, Dodge Durango, or Jeep Wrangler, KS502 provides a direct-fit service option with the correct connector style and mounting method.

What It Helps Address

• Knock sensor fault codes
• Engine pinging or detonation-related drivability concerns
• Illuminated check engine light tied to knock sensor circuits
• Erratic ignition timing control caused by a failing sensor
• Intermittent sensor signal loss from damaged terminals or connector wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector style, terminal count, and mounting style before installation. KS502 uses a direct mount with a plug-in connector and 2 male blade terminals, so matching the OE configuration is important for proper fitment. Confirm vehicle application by year, make, and model, especially on Ram 1500, Jeep Grand Cherokee, and Dodge Durango listings where multiple engine and platform combinations may exist.

Quality Assurance

Standard Ignition supplies replacement electrical and engine management components for service applications. KS502 is built to match the listed OE-style fitment requirements for Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram vehicles.
