Knock Sensor in the Ford Escape cars is extremely important in the engine system as it helps detect the knock which is characterized by wrong timing of ignition. This device communicates with the PCM allowing it to advance the ignition time in order to prevent high levels of detonation. Normally, Ford Escape models incorporate piezoelectric knock sensors that consequently translate vibrations into electrical signals so that pressure spike indicative of knocking can be continually monitored. In the past years, Ford Escape cars equipped different knock sensor technologies which can control ignition timing for every cylinder and boost pressure, if necessary, based upon the design of an engine. This guarantees efficient working of the engine near the 'kick' point to boost the performance while at the same time avoiding any damages even when using low octane gasoline. It is now seen how the Knock Sensor in Ford Escape models has changed over time in a sign of keeping engines running optimally and for longer under different use patterns.
