Default Re: Is you Knock sensor taking performance down for the count?

So, based on this circuit description it is entirely possible to not get a code 43 when the sensor is unplugged.
Thanks for clarifying the fine print Scott

So..... if you drive like a granny (I can assume LGAFF does not qualify on this count), OR you've changed your thermostat and/or fan cut-in - you won't get a DTC?

I dunno - I have early activation of my fans and I still see temps > 200. Sounds like I need to disconnect the sensor and see what happens.
