Diagnostic Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Jeep Liberty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
P0325-KNOCK SENSOR NO. 1 AND P0330-KNOCK SENSOR NO. 2 CIRCUIT DIAGNOSTIC TEST REFERENCE

TEST ACTION APPLICABILITY
1 Ignition on, engine not running.
With the DRBIII®, read DTCs and record the related Freeze Frame data.
Is the Good Trip Counter displayed and equal to zero?
Yes --> Go To 2
No --> Refer to the INTERMITTENT CONDITION SYMPTOM .
Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 5 .
All
2 Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the Knock Sensor harness connector.
Disconnect the C2 PCM harness connector.
Ignition on, engine not running.
Measure the voltage of the Knock Sensor Signal circuit at the Knock Sensor harness connector.
Is the voltage above 2.0 volts?
Yes --> Repair the short to voltage in the Knock Sensor Signal circuit.
Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 5 .
No --> Go To 3
All
3 Turn the ignition off.
CAUTION: DO NOT PROBE THE PCM HARNESS CONNECTORS. PROBING THE PCM HARNESS CONNECTORS WILL DAMAGE THE PCM TERMINALS RESULTING IN POOR TERMINAL TO PIN CONNECTION. INSTALL MILLER SPECIAL TOOL #8815 TO PERFORM DIAGNOSIS.

Measure the resistance of the Knock Sensor Signal circuit from the Knock Sensor harness connector to the appropriate terminal of special tool #8815.
Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?
Yes --> Go To 4
No --> Repair the open in the Knock Sensor Signal circuit.
Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 5 .
All
4
CAUTION: DO NOT PROBE THE PCM HARNESS CONNECTORS. PROBING THE PCM HARNESS CONNECTORS WILL DAMAGE THE PCM TERMINALS RESULTING IN POOR TERMINAL TO PIN CONNECTION. INSTALL MILLER SPECIAL TOOL #8815 TO PERFORM DIAGNOSIS.
Measure the resistance of the Knock Sensor Return circuit from the Knock Sensor harness connector to the appropriate terminal of special tool #8815.Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?Yes --> Go To 5No --> Repair the open in the Knock Sensor Signal circuit.Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 5 .
All
5 Measure the resistance between ground and the Knock Sensor Signal circuit at the Knock Sensor harness connector.
Is the resistance below 100 ohms?
Yes --> Repair the short to ground in the Knock Sensor Signal circuit.
Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 5 .
No --> Go To 6
All
6 Measure the resistance between the Knock Sensor Signal circuit and the Knock Sensor Return circuit at the Knock Sensor harness connector.
Is the resistance below 100 ohms?
Yes --> Repair the short between the Knock Sensor Signal circuit and Knock Sensor Return circuit.
Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 5 .
No --> Go To 7
All
7 Turn the ignition off.
Replace the Knock Sensor.
Ignition on, engine not running.
With the DRBIII®, erase DTC.
Attempt to operate the vehicle using the information noted in the Freeze Frame.
With the DRBIII®, read DTCs.
Does the DRBIII® display the DTC that was previously erased?
Yes -->
NOTE: Before continuing, check the PCM harness connector terminals for corrosion, damage, or terminal push out. Repair as necessary. Replace and program the Powertrain Control Module in accordance with the Service Information.

Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 5 .
No --> Test Complete.
