PRECONDITIONING
If DTC Confirmation Procedure has been previously conducted, always perform the following before conducting the next test.
Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
Turn ignition switch ON.
Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
TESTING CONDITION:
Before performing the following procedure, confirm that battery voltage is more than 10 V at idle.
>>
GO TO 2.
PERFORM DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE
Start engine and run it for at least 5 seconds at idle speed.
Check 1st trip DTC.
Is 1st trip DTC detected?
YES>>Proceed to Diagnosis Procedure.
NO>>To check malfunction symptom before repair: Refer to Intermittent Incident.
NO>>Confirmation after repair: INSPECTION END
CHECK KNOCK SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT
Disconnect knock sensor harness connector and ECM harness connector.
Check the continuity between knock sensor harness connector and ECM harness connector.
| DTC | Knock sensor | ECM | Continuity | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bank | Connector | Terminal | Connector | Terminal | ||
| P0327, P0328 | 1 | F202 | 2 | F78 | 4 | Existed |
| P0332, P0333 | 2 | F203 | 2 | |||
Also check harness for short to ground and short to power.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES>>GO TO 2.
NO>>Repair open circuit, short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.
CHECK KNOCK SENSOR INPUT SIGNAL CIRCUIT
Check the continuity between knock sensor harness connector and ECM harness connector.
| DTC | Knock sensor | ECM | Continuity | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bank | Connector | Terminal | Connector | Terminal | ||
| P0327, P0328 | 1 | F202 | 1 | F78 | 5 | Existed |
| P0332, P0333 | 2 | F203 | 1 | 9 | ||
Also check harness for short to ground and short to power.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES>>GO TO 3.
NO>>Repair open circuit, short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.
CHECK KNOCK SENSOR
Check knock sensor. Refer to Component Inspection.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES>>INSPECTION END
NO>>Replace malfunctioning knock sensor. Refer to Exploded View.
CHECK KNOCK SENSOR
Turn ignition switch OFF.
Disconnect knock sensor harness connector.
Check resistance between knock sensor terminal as per the following.
NOTE:
It is necessary to use an ohmmeter which can measure more than 10 MΩ.
| Knock sensor | Resistance | |
|---|---|---|
| + | - | |
| Terminals | ||
| 1 | 2 | Approx. 532 - 588 kΩ [at 20°C (68°F)] |
CAUTION:
Never use any knock sensors that have been dropped or physically damaged. Use only new ones.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES>>INSPECTION END
NO>>Replace malfunctioning knock sensor. Refer to Exploded View.
