MONITOR DESCRIPTION

If the output voltage transmitted by the knock sensor remains low or high for more than 1 second, the 
ECM interprets this as a malfunction in the sensor circuit, and sets a DTC.
The monitor for DTCs P0327, P0328, P0332 and P0333 begins to run when 5 seconds have elapsed 
since the engine was started.
If the malfunction is not repaired successfully, any of DTC P0327, P0328, P0332 or P0333 is set 5 
seconds after the engine is next started.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT:
•

DTCs P0327 and P0328 are for the bank 1 knock sensor circuit.

•

DTCs P0332 and P0333 are for the bank 2 knock sensor circuit.

•

Read freeze frame data using an intelligent tester. Freeze frame data record the engine condition when 
malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle 
was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, and 
other data, from the time the malfunction occurred.
