Which sensor allows a controller to advance timing to the knock limit?

  • A.A knock sensor
  • B.A cylinder pressure sensor, which measures the peak pressure directly and is fitted to every modern petrol engine
  • C.The lambda sensor
  • D.An accelerometer on the crankshaft, which detects the torsional vibration produced by detonation within the cylinders

Answer: A

A piezoelectric sensor on the block hears the characteristic ringing and the controller retards until it stops. Cylinder pressure sensors genuinely exist on some engines, and a knock sensor is itself an accelerometer, which makes both alternatives partly true. The shared behaviour explains why these belong together and the differences explain why both exist. Naming what changes and what stays the same is the reliable route through questions of this shape.
