Why you should change your cabin air filter!

Had a brand new GX460 that had been on the lot for about a month. A customer took it for a test drive and brought it back stumbling in limp mode.

Pulled the code and it was a knock sensor.(was listed as a permanent code.)

There are 4 knock sensors on the 460, one at each corner of the block under the intake.(lower intake)

Pulled the upper half and found all of the sound foam chewed up. When I got the lower half off, I found the driver side, rear sensor wire chewed in half.

Those little bastards can get into some small, tight places!

I had something similar on a subaru forester that came in for a knock sensor code and they had built as nest under the intake , but there was dog food everywhere under the intake that they had been eating.
