DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE PROCEDURES

13Ac-353

STEP 8. Replace the injector.
(1) Replace the injector.
(2) Carry out a test drive with the drive cycle pattern. Refer to 

GROUP 13A, Procedure 6 

− Other Monitor 

P.13Ab-2

.

(3) Read in the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
Q: Are DTC P0301, P0302, P0303, P0304, P0305 and  P0306 

sets?
YES : Replace the PCM. Then go to Step 9.
NO :  The inspection is complete.

STEP 9. Test the OBD-II drive cycle.
(1) Carry out a test drive with the drive cycle pattern. Refer to 

GROUP 13A, Procedure 6 

− Other Monitor 

P.13Ab-2

.

(2) Check the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
Q: Are DTC P0301, P0302, P0303, P0304, P0305 and  P0306 

sets?
YES : Retry the troubleshooting.
NO :  The inspection is complete.

DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE PROCEDURES

13Ac-355

.

CIRCUIT OPERATION

• The knock sensor sends a signal voltage to the 

PCM (terminal No. 89).

.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

• The knock sensor converts the vibration of the 

cylinder block into a voltage and outputs it. If 
there is a malfunction of the knock sensor, the 
voltage output will not change.

• The PCM checks whether the voltage output 

changes.

.

DTC SET CONDITIONS

Check Conditions

• 2 seconds or more have passed since the start-

ing sequence was completed.

• Engine speed is higher than 3,000 r/min.

Judgment Criteria

• Knock sensor output voltage (knock sensor peak 

voltage in each 1/3 turn of the crankshaft) has not 
changed more than 0.06 V in the last consecutive 
200 periods.

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (The most likely 
causes for this code to be set are: )

• Knock sensor failed.

• Open or shorted knock sensor circuit, or loose 

connector.

• PCM failed.

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tool:

• MB991502: Scan Tool (MUT-II)

STEP 1. Check harness connector B-09 at the knock 
sensor for damage.
Q: Is the harness connector in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 2.
NO :  Repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness 

Connector Inspection 

P.00E-2

. Then go to Step 6.
