Checking the status




- Start the engine and let it idle for approximately 30 seconds to perform the diagnostic.
Check whether the fault is permanent or intermittent. Read off the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) fault status when the diagnostic status is "Completed".
The fault is permanent if the fault status is "Fault found". The fault is intermittent if the fault status is "No fault detected".





Continue - Checking the components and wiring

-------------------------------------------------

Checking the components and wiring
Check knock sensor (KS) connector. Check for contact resistance and oxidation.
Check the signal cable between engine control module (ECM) terminal #A46 (#A46) and knock sensor (KS) connector terminal #1. Check for a short-circuit to supply voltage. Check for an open-circuit.
Check the ground lead between engine control module (ECM) terminal #A20 (#A20) and knock sensor (KS) connector terminal #2. Check for a short-circuit to supply voltage.
Remedy as necessary.
