Knock Sensor (KS)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1994 Mercury Sable, 1994 Mercury Cougar, 1994 Lincoln Continental, 1994 Ford Thunderbird, and 1994 Ford Taurus. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

KS measures vibrations (pre-ignition) and converts them into an electrical signal. The PCM monitors signal from KS and adjusts ignition timing if pre-ignition occurs. KS is threaded into the engine block.
