DTC Description Confirmed DTC Pending DTC
P0328 Knock Sensor Circuit High Voltage    

DTC (PGM-FI)

  1. Problem verification

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    -2. Clear the DTC with the HDS.

    -3. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    -4. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    -5. Check for Pending or Confirmed DTCs with the HDS.

    DTC (PGM-FI)

    Is DTC P0328 indicated?

    YES 

    The failure is duplicated. Go to step 2.

    NO 

    Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the knock sensor and the PCM. If the on-board snapshot of this DTC is recorded, try to reproduce the failure under the same conditions with the on-board snapshot .

  2. Determine possible failure area (knock sensor, others)

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    -2. Disconnect the following connector.

    Knock sensor 2P connector

    -3. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    -4. Measure the voltage between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle ON mode
      Knock sensor 2P connector: disconnected
    Test point 1 Knock sensor 2P connector (female terminals) No. 1:
    Test point 2 Knock sensor 2P connector (female terminals) No. 2:

    Is there about 5.0 V?

    YES 

    Replace the knock sensor .

    NO 

    Go to step 3.

  3. Determine possible failure area (KS line, others)

    -1. Measure the voltage between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle ON mode
      Knock sensor 2P connector: disconnected
    Test point 1 Knock sensor 2P connector (female terminals) No. 2:
    Test point 2 Body ground

    Is there about 5.0 V?

    YES 

    Go to step 4.

    NO 

    Go to step 5.

  4. Open wire check (KSGND line)

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    -2. Jump the SCS line with the HDS, and wait more than 1 minute.

    -3. Disconnect the following connector.

    PCM connector E (80P)

    -4. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
      Knock sensor 2P connector: disconnected
      PCM connector E (80P): disconnected
    Test point 1 Knock sensor 2P connector (female terminals) No. 1:
    Test point 2 PCM connector E (80P) No. 34

    Is there continuity?

    YES 

    The KSGND wire is OK. Check for any authorized service information related to the DTCs or symptoms you are troubleshooting, or substitute a known-good PCM , then recheck. If DTC P0328 goes away and the PCM was substituted, replace the original PCM .

    NO 

    Repair an open in the KSGND wire between the PCM (E34) and the knock sensor.

  5. Open wire check (KS line)

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    -2. Jump the SCS line with the HDS, and wait more than 1 minute.

    -3. Disconnect the following connector.

    PCM connector E (80P)

    -4. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
      Knock sensor 2P connector: disconnected
      PCM connector E (80P): disconnected
    Test point 1 Knock sensor 2P connector (female terminals) No. 2:
    Test point 2 PCM connector E (80P) No. 35
    GHH384980Courtesy of HONDA, U.S.A., INC.

    Is there continuity?

    YES 

    The KS wire is OK. Check for any authorized service information related to the DTCs or symptoms you are troubleshooting, or substitute a known-good PCM , then recheck. If DTC P0328 goes away and the PCM was substituted, replace the original PCM .

    NO 

    Repair an open in the KS wire between the PCM (E35) and the knock sensor.
