Diagnostic Aids
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Pontiac Vibe. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Inspect for the following conditions:
- A loose KS can cause a loss of the KS signal. Check the KS for proper torque. The correct KS sensor torque is 39 N.m (29 lb ft).
- Engine acceleration will be compromised and AT downshifts delayed when operating in the Fail-safe mode.
- If a DTC P0327 sets while the engine is idling, inspect for a loose connection at the PCM or KS.
An intermittent malfunction may be caused by a fault in the KS sensor electrical circuit. Inspect the wiring harness and the components for an intermittent condition. Refer to Intermittent Conditions .
The information included in the Freeze Frame data can be useful in determining the vehicle operating conditions present when the DTC first set.
