★ Top Answer
In a 2012 Chevy Malibu, you can locate the knock sensor on the back left side of the engine block. This sensor is designed to identify engine knock, which might occur due to low-quality fuel or issues with fuel delivery. If there's an issue with the knock sensor, you may experience rough running of your vehicle. It's crucial to address this problem promptly since it can negatively impact engine performance. Typically, a check engine light will illuminate on your dashboard, and a diagnostic trouble code will be recorded in your engine control unit (ECU) to signal the need for sensor inspection and replacement.
