Which side is "Bank 2" (knock sensor)?
The check engine light is on, and I'm getting a code for Knock Sensor (Bank 2). Is Bank 2 the driver's (left) side? That's my guess since, as I understand it, that side of the engine has the even number firing cylinders (2-4-6).

Re: Which side is "Bank 2" (knock sensor)?
.
In the USA, for the six cylinder H6 engine, Bank 1 is on the passenger side, Bank 2 is the driver’s side (left side as you sit in the car) If you are in front of your car, looking towards the windshield, then bank 2 is on your right. .

Recommendation: do them both.

Re: Which side is "Bank 2" (knock sensor)?
Are both sensors identical? (e.g.: interchangeable, same part number, etc.)
How do you disconnect the white electrical connectors at the far end of the sensor assembly? Do you squeeze those little wings together? Last edited by Brian; 05-23-2019 at 06:28 PM.

Re: Which side is "Bank 2" (knock sensor)?
I recently bought a couple, but haven't changed them yet, here's some thoughts on which brand:
http://www.subaru-svx.net/forum/showthread.php?t=64840 I was also searching for how-to-replace tips and found this thread: http://www.subaru-svx.net/forum/showthread.php?t=17952 I'm planning on doing the timing belt, water pump, etc., so I'll switch out the knock sensors when the belts are off doing the "remove the engine lift bracket with the compressor still attached" trick. Cheers, Ian.

Edit: Y̶e̶s̶ ̶ No. There's a tiny push-down/in lever on the grey connector that plugs into it.
