Why are knock sensors so expensive? (1 Viewer)

[silverhorse]

I broke the plastic portion of the knock sensor off when I removed the harness. Is this repairable? or rigable?

Hate to give $150 for it............

You are working on a high-line vehicle that sold for well north of 40,000 bucks when it was new. It still thinks it's new when it needs a part. On top of that Toyota sensors , in general, are not cheap.

...well north of 40,000 bucks when it was new...

That's not saying so much these days. But I still think it gets the point across.

Put a WTB classified ad out for a used & dead sensor - someone will send you theirs for the price of shipping - I would if I had one.

Are you sure it's the sensor and not the plug? I had to replace the plug on my 80, and on my tundra (squirrels chewed throught it). About $10 including the pigtail.
