Knock Sensor: Testing and Inspection

Fig. 012 - WIRING DIAGRAM for Chart C-5 Electronic Spark Control Systems Check. VIN 3, VIN 9

CHART C-5, ELECTRONIC SPARK CONTROL

    Electronic spark control is accomplished with a module that sends a voltage signal to the ECM. As the knock sensor detects engine knock, the voltage
from the ESC module to the ECM is shut off and this signals the ECM to retard timing.
