Is there a way to by pass a knock sensor
Dear Anonymous,I also have a 02 Xterra. I had a problem with my knock sensor also. there is no way to bypass the knock sensor, it is used by the engine when there is a knock to tell the ECM to advance or retard the distributor in order to stabilize the running of the engine. I have been told by my cousin who is a 20 year veteran Nisan Tech The knock sensor in itself does not need to be replaced unless you\'re doing a major job in which you have to remove the intake manifold because it sits on top of the engine block under the intake manifold. However, I am very strict when it comes to my truck, so I changed it. It is really up to you right now whether you want to replace it or not. If you take it to the dealer it\'s going to be very expensive! Let me know why you are looking to replace the knock sensor, you may be looking at the wrong thing.
