Technical Details and Features

The KS90 knock sensor from Standard Ignition features a screw-in mounting type that ensures a secure fit directly onto the engine block. It uses a 1/4" x 19 bspt thread size, compatible with many OEM specifications. The sensor includes two terminals: male pin terminals paired with a female rectangular plug-in connector, facilitating straightforward electrical connections. The screw-on attachment method provides a stable and vibration-resistant installation, critical for accurate knock detection.

Function and Application

This ignition knock sensor is used to monitor engine detonation or knocking, which can cause damage if left unchecked. It sends signals to the engine control unit (ECU) to adjust ignition timing and prevent engine damage. The KS90 sensor is compatible with a range of vehicles requiring a 2-terminal knock sensor with screw-in mounting and rectangular plug-in connectors.

• Detects engine knocking and detonation
• Helps optimize ignition timing for improved engine efficiency
• Reduces harmful emissions by enabling precise engine control
• Prevents engine damage caused by uncontrolled knocking
• Supports smooth engine operation and performance

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Standard Ignition KS90 sensor, ensure the mounting surface is clean and free of debris to guarantee proper sensor function. Use the correct torque specifications for the 1/4" x 19 bspt thread to avoid damage. Note that mounting hardware is not included, so use OEM or compatible screws for installation. Verify connector polarity: the sensor has male pin terminals and requires a female rectangular plug-in connector for proper electrical connection.
