2004 Jeep Liberty Sport, 3.7 K, 4WD, AutomaticSECTION Installation
NOTE: The left sensor is identified by an identification tag (LEFT). It is also identified by a larger bolt head. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) must have and know the correct sensor left/right positions. Do not mix the sensor locations.
  1. Thoroughly clean knock sensor mounting holes.
  2. Install sensors into cylinder block.
    NOTE: Over or under tightening the sensor mounting bolts will affect knock sensor performance, possibly causing improper spark control. Always use the specified torque when installing the knock sensors. The torque for the knock senor bolt is relatively light for an 8 mm bolt.
