Knock Sensor Part number

[LXMarksTheSpot]

Hi,

Iam about to tackle my starter and I am replacing the knock sensors too. I have a 2000 LX470 with a mfg date of 05/2000. I am getting both of these part numbers from Lexus:

1)89615-52010
2)89615-22030

Cruiser Patch has this info.

I am not sure what to go with. I cannot find any good detailed pictures to see if there are differences. I also have not started the job so I do not have my hands on the sensors. Anyone know which part number I should go with?

EDIT:

Actually Cruiser patch has some detailed pictures of 89615-22030. So Maybe I will just wait till I get my hands on the sensor. I was really hoping to not have to wait for any shipping. I hate having the truck down for fixing longer than it needs to be.

Call your local dealer and give them your VIN to get the correct P/N. Then order somewhere else, as desired.

I would check the wiring (the starter valley a nice place for rodents to hang out and chew on things), but otherwise leave the sensors

Thanks guys. Sometimes I have a hard time remembering I can do stuff through the dealership. haha

Your knock sensors are likely 100% undamaged. You’ll want to replace the knock sensor plugs by denpinning and repinning and can identify those part numbers by looking at small raised numbers on the plugs.

Thank you! I will leave in the sensors and I have new connectors coming. All the connectors in the valley are being replaced. Very old and very brittle.

For info, the knock sensor connector is the same for both knock sensor part numbers and is exactly what I needed. They use to be gray and now are white.
