Turning off knock sensors

[Kev]

Is it possible to turn off the knock sensors. I connected a scan tool today to my Celsior and I think it reads that the knock sensors are off (see photo - bottom reading). Would this be right or not. I also think the tool is a 'scan only' tool as I couldn't alter it.

What are your thoughts please, as my car is pinging its head off. I can not drive the car without pinging, even under the lightest throttle.

I have bought the scan tool home this week-end, so I can re-check anything if you have any thoughts.

Cheers, Kevin

Knock feed-back only happens in a very strict rpm range. The typical industry/Toyota rpm range would fall around mid/high 3000 to low 5000rpm.

You have to step up to seriously programmable management (Bosch), or get a J&S ignition box to get full time knock feedback AFAIK.
