Signal Circuit Inspection

  1. Check voltage.
    1. Key "OFF".
    2. Disconnect Knock sensor connector.
    3. Key "ON".
    4. Measure the voltage between terminal 1 of knock sensor harness connector and chassis ground.
    5. Measure the voltage between terminal 2 of knock sensor harness connector and chassis ground.

      Specification: Approx 2.4V

    6. Is the measured voltage within specification?

      YES 

      NO 

      • Go to  2 "Check resistance" procedure.
  2. Check resistance.
    1. Key "OFF".
    2. Disconnect Knock sensor connector and ECM/PCM connector.
    3. Measure the resistance between terminal 1 of knock sensor harness connector and 30 (32) of PCM (ECM) harness connector.
    4. Measure the resistance between terminal 2 of knock sensor harness connector and 15 (11) of PCM (ECM) harness connector.

      Specification: Below approx. 1Ω

    5. Is the measured resistance within specifications?

      YES 

      NO
