(BANK1)

DTC

P0330

KNOCK SENSOR2 CIRCUIT MALFANCTION
(BANK2)

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

Each of knock sensor is fitted to the right bank and left bank of the cylinder block to detect engine knocking.
This sensor contains a piezoelectric element which generates a voltage when it becomes deformed, which
occurs when the cylinder block vibrates due to knocking. If engine knocking occurs, ignition timing is retarded
to suppress it.

DTC No.

DTC Detecting Condition

Trouble Area

P0325

No knock sensor 1 signal to ECM with engine speed between
2,000 rpm and 5,600 rpm

Open or short in knock sensor 1 circuit

Knock control sensor 1 (looseness)

ECM

P0330

No knock sensor 1 signal to ECM with engine speed between
2,000 rpm and 5,600 rpm

Open or short in knock sensor 2 circuit

Knock control sensor 2 (looseness)

ECM

If the ECM detects the above diagnosis conditions, it operates the fail-safe function in which the corrective
retard angle value is set to the maximum value.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT:

DTC P0325 is for the right bank knock sensor circuit.

DTC P0330 is for the left bank knock sensor circuit.

Read freeze frame data using hand-held tester or OBD II scan tool. Because freeze frame records
the engine conditions when the malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, it is useful for deter-
mining whether the vehicle was running or stopped, the engine was warmed up or not, the air-fuel ratio
was lean or rich, etc. at the time of the malfunction.

CHECK KNOCK SENSOR CIRCUIT

(a)

Disconnect the wire from wire connector      .

(b)

Connect the terminals of the disconnected EB1 male con-
nector and EB1 female as follows.

Male connector 

⇔

Female connector

Terminal 1 

⇔

 Terminal 2

Terminal 2 

⇔

 Terminal 1

(c)

Turn the ignition switch ON and push the OBD II scan tool
or hand-held tester main switch ON.

(d)

After the engine is warmed up, perform quick racing to
4,000 rpm 3 times.
Result:

A

DTC same as when vehicle brought in

(e)

Check the output waveform.
