Nissan Repair: knock sensor, relocation kit, diagnostic connector


Question
98 pathfinder getting a 325 code, if the knock sensor is bad can it be relocated to an accessible area of the block? Is there an easy way to get at the knock sensor under the intake to check it?

Answer
Rich,

There is no relocation kit I am aware of.  The knock sensor is located where it is for sensing both banks and other than the current location, there would need to be two, one on each side, along with some major computer reprogramming.  If you are thriowing a knock sensor code it is a replacement that is in order.  I do not know of any speciality diagnostic connector that would work to get you access.  A Consult II scantool (Nissan Computer) is what I have used to interrogate the data stream, to verify the functionality of the knock sensor and other specific sensors.
