I made a simple test.
A 1k resistor in series with a large high intensity LED.
I connected one side to the 12V feed to the ESC module and the other to the output wire.

And a short video of me tapping at the exhaust. You can see the LED flashing when a knock is detected.

I made two LED's with resistors and cable. I installed them in the dual pillar pod. I am going to use one as knock indicator and the other as shift light.

Cool idea...

You mentioned shift light--what are you using for the trigger?

GRX

Brilliant! :D Do you have a schematic showing wire colors for hookup?

Waaaay cool :cheers: I may have to adopt the knock sensor trick into my car as well

Thanks! This I WILL try. :thumbs:

GRX

...maybe even trigger an audio alarm....hmmm. :hurray:

Thats some cools stuff!
:thumbs:

Any idea if this be done on the cars without an ESC module?

I switched to 730 ECM and used a jumper aroung the ESC Module. How could I make one for my car?

HighHopes85

Since the ESC stuff is on the memcal for the 730, you might have to do something like this... http://www.chitownsyty.com/html/tech/led.htm

Way cool! Now we need to figure it out for the late years :D .
