Understanding the Knock Sensor in Your Peugeot 405
The knock sensor is a pivotal component in the sensors system of your Peugeot 405. It plays a critical role in your vehicle's performance by detecting vibrations caused by engine detonation, often referred to as 'knocking'. The sensor's primary function is to send signals to the engine control unit (ECU), which then adjusts the ignition timing to prevent damage to the engine. A faulty knock sensor can lead to decreased fuel efficiency, increased emissions, and potentially severe engine damage.
Signs of a Faulty Knock Sensor
When driving your Peugeot 405, be attentive to signs of a failing knock sensor. Symptoms can include poor acceleration, reduced fuel economy, and an illuminated check engine light. If you notice any of these issues, it is essential to check your vehicle's electrical lighting and sensor systems for potential faults.
Choosing the Right Knock Sensor for Your Peugeot 405
Selecting the correct knock sensor for your Peugeot 405 is crucial for maintaining optimal engine performance. It is advisable to choose a high-quality replacement that is compatible with your vehicle's make and model. Using the proper sensor ensures that your engine is safeguarded against the harmful effects of knocking.
Installation and Maintenance
Installing a new knock sensor in your Peugeot 405 should ideally be done by a professional mechanic, as it involves interfacing with the engine control system. Regular maintenance checks can help detect any issues with the knock sensor early on, preventing more significant problems down the line.

What is a Knock Sensor?
Knock sensors are essential in identifying abnormal combustion types such as preignition and detonation. It's imperative to notice these sooner rather than later to avoid expensive engine problems and safety hazards.
Although most problems with combustion will be audible, some will be imperceptible. Hence, it's the job of your knock sensors to signal these to you, so you don't continue driving as usual with potential danger looming. However, like all car parts, your knock sensors are at risk of failing over time.
Symptoms of a faulty knock sensor include improper acceleration of the engine, reduced mileage, and the engine generally not feeling right when you're driving at speed or with a light load in tow. So, if you are experiencing any of these, you could need replacement knock sensors fitting.
