* 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.

Circuit/System Verification

1. Engine at operating temperature, all accessories OFF, and engine speed greater than 2,000 RPM, observe the Knock Retard and Total Knock

Retard parameters. The parameters should be 0掳.

2. Engine idling, move the related harnesses and connectors for the KS circuits while observing the scan tool Knock Retard and Total Knock

Retard parameters. The parameters 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.

Circuit/System Testing

Note:

* Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle (See: Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview/Diagnostic System

Check - Vehicle) prior to using these diagnostic procedures.

* If an engine mechanical noise can be heard, repair the condition before proceeding with this diagnostic. Refer to Symptoms - Engine

Mechanical (See: Engine, Cooling and Exhaust/Engine/Testing and Inspection/Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures/Symptoms -

Engine Mechanical).

P0324, P0326 and P0331

1. Using a scan tool, verify DTCs P0335 or P0336 are not set.

瀚慖f any of the DTCs are set, diagnose them first. Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle (See: Diagnostic Trouble Code

Descriptions/Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle).

2. Verify the following conditions do not exist.

* A loose or broken vehicle accessory

* A loose or broken accessory bracket

* Excessive engine mechanical noise

瀚慖f any of the conditions exist, repair as necessary.

3. Replace the K20 ECM if no external knock sensor circuit issues exist.
