As I'm relatively new to the S50 world (but very familiar with OBD), can anyone tell me if this is a commonly misdiagnosed/false failure code or if it should point me to something other than replacing a knock sensor? For some reason I find it odd that a knock sensor would truly fail, but I suppose there is a diagnostic for a reason, eh? I figure it could be a bad tank of fuel or a myriad of other ailments which manifest themselves as a faulty knock sensor to the otherwise ignorant DME. I'll verify the electrical connections, wiring, etc. to ensure it's not a faulty transfer of electrons. Any ideas or things I should consider/investigate? Or has your experience proven that in this case (a 1226) most often the diagnostic can be trusted? I know false failures are not uncommon especially if something that can't be diagnosed (such as a bad slug of fuel) triggers the problem and it shows up as misfire, or O2 sensor lean, etc. Once I verify the electrical connections are okay should I simply replace the problem knock sensor as indicated by the code's corrective action to cure it? Or might it be something less obvious? Is there a simple test (I have an oscilloscope and a multimeter handy) to check the integrity of a knock sensor on the S50? Thanks in advance for the help!

Anything rattling around can trigger it besides actual detonation. Make sure everything attached to the block is tight (PITA) and then disconnect the battery for a while to clear the codes. I had a 1226 on the race car at a steady 3000 rpm, the CEL would come on like clock work about 4-5 seconds after stabilizing at 3000rpm. Turned out the fire system nozzle I had put near the fuel rail was buzzing against the block. I moved it and the problem went away. And tighten down the sensors. They are a pain to get to.....

They do break on higher mileage cars and are a royal pita to replace. Replacing the rear one involves removal of the intake manifold. Tighten them down to the correct torque. Overtighen and they break.

I've used them for about 8 autocrosses and 10 track days and they still have some life left. But, I'm shopping for their replacement. I'm NOT planning any autocrosses this year but I will be instructing at about 10 track days or more this summer. I was waiting for the RT-615s to be released in my size (215/45/16) and thought it was a simple decision. But, the discussion in the forum below indicates that the sidewalls are softer on the new 615s. So, I'm also looking for first hand experience, especially on the track. I'm also looking for recommendations for other tires in this size (which is not a very common size). I could also use a 205/50/16.
