Can I test my knock sensor some way with a multimeter? I have it narrowed down to the knock sensor but I want to test them. What should I be looking for I I can test them too? Thanks

funny you mention knock sensors, I just threw out a good set I could have shipped to you to swap out.

The sensor is basically a microphone, I suppose a multimeter could tell you if the sensor is completely dead, but I don't think it will tell you if the sensor is flaky.

The best way to tell is to hook up a set of headphones with an amplifier and listen to it. That's a little expensive though.

the 2jz tsrm says to use an ohmmeter and put one lead to the terminal of the knock sensor and the other lead to the body of the sensor.

no continuity = pass

continuity = fail
