1) Disconnect the connector from knock sensor.
2) Measure the resistance between knock sensor connector terminal and engine ground.
Terminals
No. 1 — Engine ground:
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.
