Knock Sensor (Optional)
Knock sensors detect engine knock and sends a voltage signal to the ECU. The Elite Series ECU uses the knock sensor signal to modify ignition timing if knocking occurs. Knock Sensors can be connected to the knock input connections on the ECU.

The optional exhaust gas oxygen sensor must be mounted in the exhaust pipe near the exhaust header or extractors, usually after the collector. The sensor uses the exhaust gas to detect if the engine is running lean or rich. Many late model engines ...Knock Detection
The Knock Detection function is used to determine whether the knock sensors in a vehicle are functioning correctly. Traditionally, to determine if the sensors were functioning, the tuner was required to advance the ignition timing in order to cause ...Knock Control
Knock Control is used to retard the ignition timing in the case that engine knock is detected by the sensors. By enabling short term retard, the knock is reduced, creating a safer system, and protecting the engine from potential damage and/or ...Knock Detection
Knock Detection Allows the ECU to monitor engine knock by enabling up to 2 knock sensors. Knock Detection is the configuration and setup of the detecting portion of the knock system in the ECU. For settings related to Knock Control (such as retard ...Reluctor Sensor Types
Variable Reluctance Transducers (VRT or simply reluctor) – this kind of sensor produces a sine wave output. Generally a VRT sensor will have only 2 wires (a third wire may be present but its generally a shield wire to help protect the signal from ...
