  2. Disconnect the connector from ECM.
  3. Measure the resistance between ECM connectors.

Connector & terminal 
(E158) No. 30 - (E158) No. 34: 
Is the resistance 600 kΩ or more? Go to step Repair the poor contact of ECM connector.
2 CHECK KNOCK SENSOR. 
  1. Disconnect the connector from the knock sensor.
  2. Measure the resistance between knock sensor terminals.

Terminals 
No. 1 - No. 2: 
Is the resistance 600 kΩ or more? Replace the knock sensor. Ref. to KNOCK SENSOR Repair the harness and connector.
NOTE: In this case, repair the following item:
  • Open circuit in harness between ECM connector and knock sensor connector
  • Poor contact of knock sensor connector
  • Poor contact of coupling connector
