IQ DETONATION ELIMINATION SENSOR
(DET)
A detonation sensor monitors the engine and responds to
detonation by automatically reducing the engine timing and
adding fuel. The activated sensor reduces engine detonation
by compensation of timing and fuel. This results in decreased
engine RPM and performance.
This sensor detects engine knock by converting pressure
pulses from the engine and converting the pulses to a voltage.
The ECU has a threshold voltage to differentiate between
normal and damaging detonation. This system operates
similar to existing DET system, but this system can
compensate with timing and fuel delivery.
