CHECKING KNOCK SENSORS
NOTES:
^
Also Refer to On-Board Diagnostics, "Read Measuring Value Block" function 08, display group 015 and/or 016 for functional testing of the
knock sensor. See: Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection
^
Remove and install with insert 3247.
^
Exact compliance with the tightening torque of 20 Nm (15 ft lb) is critical for satisfactory function of the knock sensors.
^
Check harness connection for corrosion.
^
Use only gold terminals to repair knock sensor harness connectors.
CHECKING KNOCK SENSOR WIRING
3-Pin Connector
-
Separate knock sensor harness connectors in engine compartment.
-
Check all three terminals at each knock sensor connector for short circuit to each other.
If a connection exists:
-
Replace knock sensor.
CHECKING WIRING FROM KNOCK SENSORS TO ECM
