DTC P0325:Knock Sensor Circuit Malfunction
- Reset the ECM/PCM (see page 11-4).
- Start the engine. Hold the engine at 3,000 rpm (min-1) with no load (in Park or neutral) until the radiator fan comes on, then let it idle.
- Hold the engine at 3,000-4,000 rpm (min-1) for at least 60 seconds.
Is DTC P0325 indicated?
YES |
- Go to step 4. |
NO |
- Intermittent failure, system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose wires at the knock sensor and at the ECM/PCM. |
- Turn the ignition switch OFF.
- Disconnect the knock sensor 3P connector.
- Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
- Measure voltage between knock sensor 3P connector terminal No. 1 and body ground.
KNOCK SENSOR 3P CONNECTOR
Wire side of female terminals
Is there about 5 V?
YES |
- Go to step 12. |
NO |
- Go to step 8. |
| |
- Measure voltage between ECM/PCM connector terminal A9 and body ground.
ECM/PCM CONNECTOR A (31P)
Wire side of female terminals
Is there about 5 V?
YES |
- Repair open in the wire between the ECM/PCM (A9) and knock sensor. |
NO |
- Go to step 9. |
- Turn the ignition switch OFF.
- Disconnect ECM/PCM connector A (31P).
- Check for continuity between ECM/PCM connector terminal A9 and body ground.
ECM/PCM CONNECTOR A (31P)
Wire side of female terminals
Is there about 5 V?
YES |
- Repair short in the wire between ECM/PCM (A9) and knock sensor. |
NO |
- Substitute a known-good ECM/PCM and recheck (see page 11-6). If symptom/indication goes away, replace the original ECM/PCM. |
