What happens if a Toyota knock sensor goes bad?

These knock sensors are super sensitive, but usually don’t go bad. They’re also super expensive. You have either a bad wiring harness or a bad knock sensor, there is no CEL if it determines a knock. Start by checking the sensor for tightness. You’d need an oscilloscope to test it’s function, though.

Is the knock sensor on a Chevy S10 4cyl compatible?

Apparently that is standard procedure in many shops when doing head gaskets on this engine. That being said, I researched to find a way around pulling the engine back apart. What I found was someone had done some research and claimed that the displacement of this 3VZE engine was similar to a Chevy S10 4cyl and that the knock sensor was compatible.
