P0327

DTC P0327 KS

Component Description





The knock sensor is attached to the cylinder block. It senses engine knocking using a piezoelectric element. A knocking vibration from the cylinder block is sensed as vibrational pressure. This pressure is converted into a voltage signal and sent to the ECM.

On Board Diagnosis Logic:

DTC Confirmation Procedure

NOTE: If "DTC Confirmation Procedure" has been previously conducted, always turn ignition switch "OFF" and wait at least 10 seconds before conducting the next test.

TESTING CONDITION:
Before performing the following procedure, confirm that battery voltage is more than 10 V at idle.

WITH CONSULT-II





1. Turn ignition switch "ON" and select "DATA MONITOR" mode with CONSULT-II.
2. Start engine and run it for at least 5 seconds at idle speed.
3. If 1st trip DTC is detected, go to "Diagnostic Procedure" below.

WITH GST
Follow the procedure "WITH CONSULT-II" above.

KNOCK SENSOR





Check resistance between knock sensor terminal 1 and ground.

NOTE: It is necessary to use an ohmmeter which can measure more than 10 MOhm.

Resistance: Approximately 532 - 588 kOhm [at 20 °C (68 °F)]

CAUTION: Do not use any knock sensors that have been dropped or physically damaged. Use only new ones.
