DTC P0328 KNOCK SENSOR 1 CIRCUIT HIGH (BANK 1 OR SINGLE SENSOR)

DTC DETECTING CONDITION:

Immediately at fault recognition

TROUBLE SYMPTOM:

Poor driving performance

Knocking occurs.

CAUTION:

After repairing or replacing the defective part, perform the Clear Memory Mode and Inspection Mode .

WIRING DIAGRAM:

STEPCHECKYESNO

1.CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN KNOCK SENSOR AND ECM CONNECTOR.

Measure the resistance of harness between ECM connector and chassis ground.

Connector & terminal

(B137) No. 17 — Chassis ground:

Is the resistance less than 400 kΩ?

2.CHECK KNOCK SENSOR.

1) Disconnect the connector from knock sensor.

2) Measure the resistance between knock sensor connector terminals.

Terminals

No. 1 — No. 2:

Is the resistance less than 400 kΩ?

Replace the knock sensor.

Repair the ground short circuit of harness between knock sensor connector and ECM connector.

NOTE:

The harness between both connectors are shielded. Repair the short circuit of harness covered with shield.

3.CHECK INPUT SIGNAL OF ECM.

1) Connect the connectors to ECM and knock sensor.

2) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

3) Measure the voltage between ECM and chassis ground.

Connector & terminal

(B137) No. 31 (+) — Chassis ground (−):

Is the voltage 2 V or more?

Even if the malfunction indicator light illuminates, the circuit has returned to a normal condition at this time. (However, the possibility of poor contact still remains.)

NOTE:

In this case, repair the following item:

Poor contact of knock sensor connector

Poor contact in ECM connector

Poor contact of the coupling connector

Repair the poor contact of ECM connector.
