Test Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 GMC Sierra, 2004 GMC Cab & Chassis Sierra, 2004 Chevrolet Silverado, and 2004 Chevrolet Cab & Chassis Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. 2:  This step ensures that the malfunction is present.
  2. 3:  This step tests the KS and the KS jumper harness for an open or a short to ground.
  3. 4:  Tapping on the engine block will simulate an engine knock.

1 Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check-Engine Controls? - Go to Step 2  Go to Diagnostic System Check - Engine Controls
2 
IMPORTANT: If an engine mechanical noise can be heard, repair the condition before proceeding with this diagnostic. Refer to Symptoms - Engine Mechanical in Engine Mechanical - 4.8L, 5.3L, and 6.0L.
  1. Observe the Freeze Frame/Failure Records for this DTC.
  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.
Does the DTC fail this ignition?		 - Go to Step 3  Go to Diagnostic Aids

  1. Remove the left engine sight shield. Refer to Engine Sight Shield Replacement (4.8L, 5.3L, and 6.0L Engines) or Engine Sight Shield Replacement (6.0L Engine w/RPOs Y91 and Z88) in Engine Mechanical - 4.8L, 5.3L, and 6.0L.
  2. Disconnect the knock sensor (KS) jumper harness connector located on the left side of the intake manifold.
  3. Set the DMM to the 400 K-ohm scale.
  4. Measure the resistance from the affected KS signal circuit on the sensor side of the KS jumper harness connector to a good ground with the DMM.
Is the resistance within the specified range?		 93-107K Ω Go to Step 4  Go to Step 6 
4 
  1. With the DMM still connected, set the DMM to the 400 mV AC hertz scale.
    2. IMPORTANT: Do not tap on plastic engine components.
  2. Tap on the engine block with a nonmetallic object near the affected KS while observing the signal indicated on the DMM.
Is any signal indicated on the DMM while tapping on the engine block near the KS?		 - Go to Step 5  Go to Step 7 
5
  1. Disconnect the PCM.
  2. Test the affected KS signal circuit between the PCM and the KS jumper harness connector for the following conditions:
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 12  Go to Step 8 
6
  1. Remove the intake manifold. Refer to Intake Manifold Replacement in Engine Mechanical 4.8L, 5.3L, 6.0L.
  2. Test the KS signal circuit between the KS jumper harness connector and the KS connector for the following conditions:
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 12  Go to Step 7 
7 Test for an intermittent and for a poor connection at the affected KS. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections or Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 12  Go to Step 10 
8 Test for an intermittent and for a poor connection at the KS jumper harness connector. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections or Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 12  Go to Step 9 
9 Test for an intermittent and for a poor connection at the PCM. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections or Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 12  Go to Step 11 
10 Replace the affected KS. Refer to Knock Sensor (KS) Replacement .
Did you complete the repair?		 - Go to Step 12  -
11 Replace the PCM. Refer to Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Replacement .
Is the action complete?		 - Go to Step 12  -
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.
Does 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
