How to OHM test a knock sensor?
So I replaced the knock sensor and the old one looked fine. No cracks or anything. How do you test the ohm's on a knock sensor. There is only one wire in the pigtail.

I would presume that you replaced the sensor as a result of detecting a fault code. This would be registered in the event of an electrical fault. However the device does have a mechanical aspect, therefore there is the very unlikely possibility of a non electrical fault, which a resistance test will not disclose.

I tried using a ohm meter and connected it to the pigtail and to the metal part of the sensor but didn't get any kind of a reading.
