I keep forgetting I have access to some experts on this forum. Please answer only if you have had experience with this issue on a car like mine or similar Hyundai/Kia vehicle. We are getting an intermittent CEL. It stays off more than it stays on, but the stored code is P0326 (knock sensor). On Hyundai forums I have seen that there was a recall on this vehicle for something to do with the knock sensor. I contact a local Hyundai dealer and confirmed that this car that we bought in 2016 had the service earlier that year. Since most of the Hyundai forum people said that they just replaced the sensort that is what I did. I bought the OEM quality sensor on Rock Auto for almost $50 and changed it yesterday. The CEL came back on.
What else can I do? Since it doesn't seem to affect driveability or fuel economy I don't think it is indicative of a critical failure, but a CEL is never a good thing and we will have to reset it for the car to pass inspection. Has anyone else dealt with this issue and resolved it successfully?
Thank you for your time.
