P0330 - KNOCK SENSOR 2 CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION (BANK 2)

Description:  The knock sensor detects vibrations upon increase and decrease in engine RPM. The knock sensor generates a voltage based on this vibration. If the voltage goes outside a calibrated level, a DTC is set.
Possible Causes: 
  • Knock sensor circuit short to GND.
  • Knock sensor circuit short to PWR.
  • Damaged knock sensor.
  • Damaged PCM.
  • Knock sensor circuit open.
Diagnostic Aids:  A knock sensor voltage greater than 0.5 volt with the key ON and engine OFF indicates a hard fault.
