This detonation (knock) sensor is designed for UAZ vehicles equipped with the ZMZ-409 2.7L injection engine, including Bukhanka Modern (2.7L), Hunter & 469 (2.7L), Patriot, and Profi. It matches OEM reference 18.3855 (catalog number 406.3855000 / 406.3855000-01) and provides accurate detection of abnormal combustion, ensuring the ECU can correct ignition timing and protect the engine from damage.
Why choose this detonation sensor?
Manufactured to OEM standards by trusted suppliers such as Avtopribor Kaluga and Meat Doria, this sensor guarantees exact fit and electrical compatibility. It reliably monitors engine vibrations for signs of detonation (pinging), enabling precise ECU adjustments to maintain smooth performance, fuel efficiency, and long-term engine health. By replacing a faulty unit, you restore consistent operation and prevent costly engine wear.

Installation tips:
Locate the sensor on the engine block (commonly near the intake side or accessory drive area). Disconnect the harness plug, then unscrew the old sensor. Clean the mounting surface before installing the new unit. Tighten carefully to OEM torque to avoid cracking the housing. Reconnect the harness and verify proper operation by clearing fault codes and running an engine test cycle.
When to replace?
Replace the knock sensor if fault codes appear in the ECU, if engine hesitation or pinging occurs, or if timing advance becomes unstable. Symptoms include power loss, poor fuel economy, and erratic acceleration. Sensors are typically replaced at around 100,000 km as preventative maintenance.
