  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
  2. Disconnect the knock sensor (KS) harness connector.
  3. Measure the resistance from the signal circuit and the low reference circuit on the controller side of the KS harness connector to a good ground with the DMM.
Is the resistance within the specified range?		 96K-107K Ω Go to Step 5  Go to Step 6 
5 Measure the resistance from the shielded ground circuit on the controller side of the KS harness connector to a good ground with the DMM.
Is the resistance within the specified range?		 92-98 Ω Go to Step 8  Go to Step 7 
6 Test the signal circuit and the low reference circuit on the controller side of the KS for the following conditions:
  • An open
  • A short to ground
  • A short to voltage
  • High resistance
  • A short between both circuits

Refer to Testing for a Short to Voltage and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 12  Go to Step 9 
7 Test the shielded ground circuit on the controller side of the KS for the following conditions:
  • An open
  • A short to ground
  • A high resistance
  • A short to voltage

Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 12  Go to Step 9 
8 Test for an intermittent and for a poor connection at the KS. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 12  Go to Step 10 
9 Test for an intermittent and for a poor connection at the ECM. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 12  Go to Step 11 
10 Replace the KS. Refer to Knock Sensor (KS) Replacement .
Did you complete the replacement?		 - Go to Step 12  -
11 Replace the ECM. Refer to Engine Control Module (ECM) Replacement .
Did you complete the replacement?		 - Go to Step 12  -

  1. Clear the DTCs with a scan tool.
  2. Turn OFF the ignition for 30 seconds.
  3. Start the engine.
  4. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records.
Did the DTC fail this ignition?		 - Go to Step 2  Go to Step 13 
13 Observe the Capture Info with a scan tool.
Are there any DTCs that have not been diagnosed?		 - Go to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List System OK
