Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the KS.
- Ignition ON, test for 2.0-3.0 volts between the signal circuit terminal 1 and ground.
- If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Ignition ON, test for 2.0-3.0 volts between the low reference circuit terminal 2 and ground.
- If less than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the KS sensor.
IMPORTANT:
If the knock sensor lead is damaged in any way, replace the KS.
