Default 02-06 ES300, ES330, CAMRY, 3.0 litre 24V DOHC V6 KNOCK SENSOR REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE

My video is purely for educational purposes only. I made this video to save you money and to protect you from the stealership and their outrageous repair costs. In this video I will show you how to change the Knock Sensor Wire Harness and the, "DREADED KNOCK SENSORS." I will also go over how to get to the very hard to reach Air Fuel Ratio Sensor, Bank 1 Sensor 1. This video is very helpful with many other repairs such as, changing your Spark Plugs, Coils, Air Filter, Mass Airflow Sensor (MAF), and a few other things. I am in no way a master mechanic, but I refuse to pay bogus mechanics crazy amounts of money for jobs that any smart, mechanically inclined person can do themselves. This particular job would have cost me $350 for each Knock Sensor, $95 for the Wire Harness, and 5 hours of labor @ $135 per hour according to the stealership. You do the math! I believe this procedure works on GS models too with the same motor. IF YOU LIKE THIS VIDEO, PLEASE COMMENT BELOW AND I WILL UPLOAD A FEW OF MY OTHER PROJECTS. THANKS!

GO TO youtube.com AND TYPE IN: 2002-2006 ES300 KNOCK SENSOR AND MY VIDEO WILL POP UP.

Amazing work! I couldn't find this information anywhere and just when I was going to pay the Lexus dealership to fix the knock sensors on my daughter's car, this thread popped up. Thank you sooo much! You saved me a ton of cash!

Thank you for the video, that was very helpful and I hope it finds more people in need.

A few things to note, when you use all capital letters it makes it seem like you're yelling at us and it's a bit hard to read a whole paragraph like that. As for the Air Fuel sensor, you actually replaced a Bank 1 Sensor 1.

Bank 1 on a 1999 ES300 is in the rear of the motor if I am not mistaken. Bank 1 is always the side of the motor where the number 1 cylinder is.
