Thumbs down Wasn't someone making/selling knock sensor pig tails.

I don't really understand the concept of the knock sensor having a shielded system. I do a little but I just don't care anymore. Wasn't there someone who was making replacements. I've got a new knock sensor and the short wire from sensor to harness is crispy and crunchy. I hate code 52. Does anyone have a good one for sale or how much does it cost at the dealer. I'm tired I just want it to stop throwing the code. Can anyone help? Using my iPhone makes it harder to find this part. But it's all I have. What can I do while I have it exposed. The dealer isn't open today.
Please help
Wesley

Wesley, read over the Code 52 Tech thread which is linked in my signature.

To clarify for you, code 52 is really a simple problem. It's what happens when the ECU does NOT receive a signal from the knock sensor. It's just an electrical problem, which narrows it to:

- knock sensor wiring
- Kncok sensor
- ECU (not usually the problem)

Part 219-35010 $11.31 at http://www.toyotapartszone.com

So if your dealer really wants to rip you off, it might set you back a sawbuck.

Just get it from the dealer.

I am pretty sure that the pig tail wire itself is not shielded, but the rest of the wire is. A regular female spade connector will work, but I have no idea how the heat from a V6 is going to effect it after a while. When I was in the process of fixing my Code 52, an unshielded jumper wire running out the fender well and through the passenger door to the ECU would work, but when I tried to route it through the firewall I would get a Code 52. I ended up using a piece of coax and the KS connector from the above mentioned pig tail.

Don't use a spade connector. The OEM connectors are very well sealed and make a secure connection that won't corrode. A spade connector is a hack job.

So you're calling a spade a spade?......
