michael parkes Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 hay i recently brought a knock link knock light and iv wired it up to a toyota 3sgte knock sensor, iv used shielded wiring most of the way like the factory wiring and kept the wire away from coils ect. and iv ran the signal ground wire to earth as the 3sgte sensor is only a one wire one. when i switch the ignition on the light flashes blue a couple of times then goes green for a few seconds then goes out for a few secconds then flashes red very fast and keeps doing this cycle. what do i need to do to make it work properly? thanks very much michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Is it flashing red with engine running or has it not yet been started? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael parkes Posted February 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 hay it does it with the engine not running and ignition on and it does the same thing with it running also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Kriedeman Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Hi Michael, Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â I am not sure if the Knock Link can function correctly with a single wire knock sensor. The use of a Bosch Do-nut style knock sensor is the recommended sensor for this unit. Connecting the sensor ground to earth may create issues also, earth looping, however i do not know the circuitry of this unit so earth looping may not cause any issue. Regards Dave.

Simon Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 Some times if there is noise of the supply it will cause the unit to malfunction. Try powering the unit direct from a battery and see if it does the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael parkes Posted March 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 hay i tried buying a proper link (bosch) knock sensor and put that on and it did the same thing and i also tried connecting the unit directly to a battery and it did the same thing. any ideas on testing the unit to see if its faulty or anything else i could try to get it to work correctly? thanks michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 Hi Michael I think we will need to get the unit back to put on the bench to test it out. You can do this direct or through a dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
