45 bucks
It would of taken less time to look up the aircare website for the cost http://www.aircare.ca/aboutus-overview.php
EDIT 2: Did the knock sensor trip the CEL?

is your car OBDI or II, is there a CEL? if you answered yes, you will fail. in all likely hood if they see the CEL they wont even test you i think.

With the CEL on, it's an automatic fail.

Problem? Yes.
U do know all of the sensors and stuff needs to be in ready status before getting scanned right? So pulling the battery will not work cause some sensor requires XXX KMs to become working. Posted via RS Mobile | |

3. If the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) is on, the test system will download and record the faults stored by the vehicle's OBD system. This information will be printed on your Vehicle Inspection Report and the vehicle will receive a fail result.

With a CEL on, your car will be running rich and should be blowing out black smoke. CEL is like a safe mode for cars; it's tuned to dump extra fuel to prevent further damages related with the parts' failure.

I can show you my aircare sheet, was done a couple weeks ago.
CEL # 25

CEL # 25 | should i go repair first or aircare with CEL on? the knock sensor doesnt give me black smoke or anything either just kills my gas i think. i only get 300-400kms off my accord. it used to be more

CEL # 25 | Although no visible smoke, it should be running rich. Maybe your car was running rich within legal limit? I don't know.  Quote:

If you smell your exhaust gas with CEL at an operating temperature, it will have a distinct strong "fuel" smell which wasn't there before with CEL off. No visible smoke because it's not tuned to dump as much fuel as other cars with CEL.

Except my mileage hasn't changed from before and after it. I'm probably going to change my o2 sensor though, cuz that's the solution to ALL cel's hahaha.

your car WILL FAIL (or get rejected, whichever) with the CEL on. a knock sensor retards the timing when, you guessed it, the engine knocks. knocking could be caused by lots of things, such as excessively high combustion temps. excessively high combustion temps = high NOX. they'll fail a car even if it's throwing a transmission code like a faulty speed sensor etc.. i've brought so many cars to aircare, even resetting it by disconnecting the battery or clearing the code with a scanner sometimes doesn't work, the readiness codes won't be set and you'll get rejected. anything pre OBD II can still pass even with the CEL on since they use the sniffer. and a bad knock sensor on a V6 honda? seriously, almost everytime i've seen that it was because a rat chewed the wire. not kidding!

what kind of car is it? if you want to cheap it out and you can find the harness to the knock sensor, you could try to relocate the knock sensor to an area that is easier to get to, hopefully you will be lucky and wont have to reset the MIL after the repairs and can just go to aircare once the repair is done
the knock sensor could cause poor fuel economy because it adjusts the timing, retarded timing means you gotta put your foot into the pedal more to get the car moving
