Looking to replace honda pilot knock sensor

The knock sensor on a 2003 Honda CRV is located on the engine block. Specifically, it is located under the intake manifold, which means it can be difficult to access. Here are the steps to locate and replace the knock sensor on a 2003 Honda CRV:

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable to prevent electrical shock.
2. Remove the intake manifold. This involves removing several bolts and electrical connections.
3. Locate the knock sensor, which is located near the rear of the engine block, under the intake manifold.
4. Disconnect the electrical connector from the sensor.
5. Remove the sensor from the engine block. This may require a special tool, depending on the specific design of the sensor.
6. Install the new knock sensor, making sure it is properly aligned and tightened to the correct torque specification.
7. Reconnect the electrical connector to the sensor.
8. Reinstall the intake manifold, making sure all bolts and electrical connections are properly secured.
9. Reconnect the negative battery cable.

Note that if you are not experienced with working on engines or are unsure of how to proceed, it may be best to seek the assistance of a qualified mechanic to replace the knock sensor on your 2003 Honda CRV.

Hi,

it could be underneath the car or under the hood. Please acquire a picture of the part and start by checking each place. If not able to locate the image, then please call GM (i believe owner of Saturn) to ask technicians to give specific location and any associated diagrams for finding it.

Thank you.

Here's a link on your knock sensor. Location of knock sensor for 2004 Honda pilot front or back of engine block

It is located under the fuel rail facing you when standing in front of the car. It is between cylinder 4 and 5. need to remove the upper and lower part of the intake manifold

it is the unit attached to the cam shaft that varies the valve timing by moving the cam inside the gear
It is oil pressure operated and electronically controlled
take it to an accredited service center and have the job done professionally

To the front there is a reference image above.

It is on the lower left side of the engine (side towards firewall - see picture).
Knock sensor failures are pretty rare, why are you looking for it?

It does sound like the sensor may be bad, but you also need to check the wiring.
This information comes from:

http://www.obd-codes.com/p0325

P0325 OBD-II Trouble Code Technical Description

Knock Sensor Circuit Malfunction
What does that mean?

A knock sensor tells the engine computer when one or more of your engine's cylinders are "knocking", that is, exploding the air/fuel mixture in a way that delivers less power and can be damaging to the engine if prolonged. The computer uses this information to tune the engine so that it doesn't knock. If your knock sensor wasn't operating properly, so that it was always indicating a knock, the engine computer's response may have been to change the ignition timing on your engine. Knock sensors generally bolt into or thread into the engine block. This P0325 code may show up intermittently or the Service Engine light may be lit constantly. Other knock sensor related DTC codes include P0330.

You may notice drivability problems including a lack of power and perhaps some hesitation. There may also be other symptoms.
Causes

A code P0325 most likely means one or more of the following has happened:

• The knock sensor is faulty and needs to be replaced
• There is a wiring short/fault in the knock sensor circuit

Possible Solutions

• Check the resistance of the knock sensor (compare it to factory specs)
• Check for broken/frayed wires leading to the sensor
• Replace the knock sensor

The tcs light will come on whenever the engine light is on, this is because the tcs cant operate correctly when engine is not running good so its shut down by the computer, the code if the only code means there a problem with the knock sensor, you will need to check the connection and make sure the wire is good and if it is then you will need to replace the knock sensor, heres a diagram to help you locate the knock sensor good luck, hope this helps,

It should be on the drivers side under the exhaust manifold on the block. Look like a old style oil pressure switch.
