New Engine Knock Sensor from 1AAuto.com 1aau.to/ib/1AEKS00024
This video shows you how to install a new knock sensor in your 2003-2008 Honda Pilot. A knock sensor monitors your vehicle’s engine for unusual pulsations caused by things such as engine knock. If a sensor is damaged or malfunctioning, the engine may run poorly, inefficiently, or only in a low speed safe mode, and may also trigger diagnostic codes.
This repair was done on a 2007 Honda Pilot EX-L 3.5L Sport Utility 4-Door AWD Automatic and the process should be similar on the following vehicles:
2003 Honda Pilot
2004 Honda Pilot
2005 Honda Pilot
2006 Honda Pilot
2007 Honda Pilot
2008 Honda Pilot

Beautiful thanks for helpful video

[@alejandrocresci9299]

Thanks for the video, it is very clear! I'm facing a problem with the water passage and the knock sensor. Do you think it is possible to replace the knock sensor having cleared the water passage? Thanks again!

I am preparing to do this on my 2003 pilot. Did you replace all of the gaskets that you removed with new gaskets or were you able to use the old gaskets? I am a novice. also...what grit sandpaper is safe for use on the sanding block?Thank you

[@rhdiaz1989]

Is this a similar procedure for a 2005 Honda accord V6 3.0?

[@TRQ]

+@rhdiaz1989 This procedure might be different for your application. We do not currently have a how-to video for this particular year, make and model. Thank you for asking! 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ
