Automotive â '99 Lexus ES300 knock sensor/lack of 4th gear issue '99 Lexus ES300 knock sensor/lack of 4th gear issue. I had to have another rebuilt tranny for my car 2 yrs after having it done. The check engine and trac control lights went on, and knock sensor #2 was dx'd as bad, so that was replaced. 2 wks later, the same issue happened - no 4th gear/bad knock sensor. It was an intermittent issue. My mechanic had the tranny looked at, and it was fine. He replaced the sensor, and once again, 15 mins after picking it up, the check engine/trac control light went on and I had no 4th gear. Any suggestions on what could be causing this? The odds of a bad knock sensor again is astronomical. Thanks in advance for your help.
