Fuel Injection

The following testing procedure checks only the knock signal from the ignition ECU, not the sensor itself. For knock sensor test see FOR IGNITION ECU.

TESTING PROCEDURE:

NOTE: Check that coolant temperature and knock sensor connectors at engine block are not interchanged.
While trouble shooting, always check the wiring, fuses and connectors for good condition and routing. Use the wiring diagrams found in CHASSIS ELECTRICAL DIAGRAMS to supplement your testing efforts.

Removing Protective Sleeve:





5. Remove connector protective sleeve and reinstall fuse #1 for testing.
CAUTION: ^ Never check connections from the front. Connectors can get damaged and worsen the problem.
^ Check connections through the holes in the connector.
^ Connection pin numbers are printed on the connector side.

6. Turn ignition ON.
7. Connect a voltmeter between ground and pin 28 at ECU connector.

Reading: approx. 0.7 volts

8. Turn ignition OFF.
