thorpe991 Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 So yesterday my service engine light came so I took it to autozone to get it checked they said it was the knock sensor causing the light to be on I'm going to get the sensor from rock auto as they are about 40-50 bucks cheaper then every where's else is it something I could do in my driveway or should I take it to a shop? I have the 3.3 v6 and the guy at autozone said you can relocate them so there easier to get to is this true?

albino Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Is it the 325 code? I have had the 325 on for about a year and it alone won't turn the ses light on. Its just one of those codes that gets stored and noticed when something else triggers the ses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Towncivilian Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Don't run to replace the knock sensor just yet. Are there any other codes? Try running a 20oz bottle of Chevron Techron fuel system cleaner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorpe991 Posted October 21, 2013 Author Share Posted October 21, 2013 Ya they said that my idle air flow was going off to but I tweaked a hose on my custom intake and it went off so its just the knock sensor Sent from my iPod touch using Tapatalk - now Free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Towncivilian Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Reset the code and see if it comes back. It may not light the CEL, so you'd have to scan manually. It might just be a bad tank of gas too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its just one of those codes that gets stored and noticed when something else triggers the ses. Same as me, it's supposed to be the "heated rear O2 sensor". Mine comes & goes depending on the fuel level I replaced my evap canister & valve, O2 sensor is next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might just be a bad tank of gas too. it came on after half a tank of fresh gas(filled up full 5 -6 days before it came on) and im not sure which code number it was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thorpe991 Posted November 2, 2013 Author Share Posted November 2, 2013 Ya they said that the idle air was the reason for the light but the idle air doesn't cause the knock sensor to stop working Sent from my iPod touch using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferrariowner123 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 (edited) If you take it to a shop, be ready for about 3-5 hours of labor time, it took my friend and I about 4 hours of cursing and complaining to get at my factory location. I'm not a fan of the relocation idea, IMHO if Nissan put in on the V of the engine valley, THEN DANGIT JIM I'M PUTTING IT BACK IN THE ENGINE VALLEY! -Kyle Edited November 7, 2013 by ferrariowner123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
