The ECM uses active knock control to prevent possible engine damage due to pre-ignition. This is achieved by converting engine block noise into a suitable electrical signal that can be processed by the ECM. A major contributing factor to engine KNOCK is fuel quality, the ECM can function satisfactorily on 91 RON fuel as well as the 95 RON fuel that it is calibrated for.
