2009 Scion xD Knock Sensor Parts Q&A

• Q: How to install the knock sensor and related components on 2009 Scion xD?

  A: The knock sensor installation begins by bolting it securely while using 21 Nm (214 kgf-cm, 16 ft-lbf) torque and finishing with connecting the knock sensor connector. Start by attaching the new gasket to the intake manifold and proceeding to install the intake manifold together with its stay through 4 bolts and 2 nuts which require 28 Nm (286 kgf-cm, 21 ft-lbf) torque. The installation requires you to connect the water by-pass hose with the No. 2 water by-pass hose and the throttle body assembly connector, ventilation hose and 4 wire harness clamps. The installation sequence must include transmission oil level gauge sub-assembly together with oil cooler tube followed by engine oil level dipstick, starter assembly, flywheel housing side cover, injector vibration insulator, No. 1 delivery pipe spacer, fuel delivery pipe sub-assembly, fuel tube sub-assembly, fuel pipe clamp, vacuum hose, No. 1 fuel vapor feed hose, harness bracket, engine wire harness and air cleaner cap sub-assembly with hose. After attaching the cable to the negative battery terminal with 5.4 Nm torque (55 kgf-cm, 48 in-lbf) you should add engine coolant followed by a leak test of coolant and fuel. Finish the procedure with No. 2 cylinder head cover installation and a torque of 5.0 Nm (51 kgf-cm, 44 in-lbf) applied to secure engine under covers on both right and left sides.
