How do I replace the knock sensor on a 2002 Kia Rio? I did a OBD II scanner and I got the Knock Sensor circuit malfunction. How do I remove the intake manifold support bracket?

Bracket is bolted on. Removing the bolts would get it off but process does not require bracket to be removed.

Removal & Installation
Turn ignition off. Disconnect knock sensor 3-pin harness connector. Locate knock sensor, on cylinder block. See Fig. 13. Remove knock sensor from cylinder block. To install, reverse removal procedure.

Hi,

I'm attaching a schematic of the sensor location let us know if this is helpful and what fixed your vehicle.

Thank you
