condition exists for greater than 1 s or for a cumulative of 10 s.

P0327 or P0332

The ECM detects a knock sensor signal voltage that is less than the predetermined minimum engine noise level for greater than 1 s or for a

cumulative of 10 s.

P0328 or P0333

The ECM detects the knock sensor signal voltage is greater than predetermined maximum engine noise level for greater than 1 s or for a cumulative

of 10 s.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

DTCs P0326, P0327, P0328, P0331, P0332, and P0333 are Type B DTCs.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

DTCs P0326, P0327, P0328, P0331, P0332, and P0333 are Type B DTCs.

Diagnostic Aids

* Inspect the knock sensor for physical damage. A knock sensor that is dropped or damaged may cause a DTC to set.

* Inspect the knock sensor for proper installation. A knock sensor that is loose or over torqued may cause a DTC to set. The knock sensor

should be free of thread sealant. The knock sensor mounting surface should be free of burrs, casting flash, and foreign material.

* The knock sensor must be clear of hoses, brackets, and engine electrical wiring.

* With the knock sensor disconnected, the normal voltage measured from the knock sensor signal or the low reference circuit to ground is

between 2.30-2.80 V.

Circuit/System Verification

1. Engine at operating temperature, all accessories OFF. Engine speed greater than 2,000 RPM, observe the appropriate scan tool knock sensor

signal voltage parameter. The voltage should be greater than 4.0 V.

2. Engine idling, move the related harnesses and connectors for the knock sensor circuits while observing the scan tool knock sensor signal

voltage parameters. The voltage should remain steady with no abrupt changes.

3. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC to verify the DTC does not reset. You may also operate the vehicle within the

conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.
