  No
  - Go To 4
CHECK THE KNOCK SENSOR 1 SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
1. Check for continuity between ground and the (K42) Knock Sensor 1 Signal circuit in the Knock Sensor harness connector.
  Is there continuity between ground and the (K42) Knock Sensor Signal circuit?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the (K42) Knock Sensor 1 Signal circuit for a short to ground.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
  No
  - Go To 5
KNOCK SENSOR
1. Verify that there is good pin to terminal contact at the Knock Sensor and the Powertrain Control Module harness connector.
2. If no problems were found in the connectors, replace the Knock Sensor 1. Refer to KNOCK SENSOR .
3. Reconnect the PCM C2 harness connector.
4. Turn the ignition on.
5. With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
6. Test drive or operate the vehicle in accordance with the when monitored and set conditions.
7. With the scan tool, read DTCs and record on the repair order.
  Is the DTC active or pending?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 6
  No
  - Test complete.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
CHECK RELATED PCM AND COMPONENT CONNECTIONS
1. Perform any Service Bulletins that apply.
2. Disconnect all PCM harness connectors.
3. Disconnect all related in-line harness connections (if equipped).
4. Disconnect the related component harness connectors.
5. Inspect harness connectors, component connectors, and all male and female terminals for the following conditions:
  - Proper connector installation.
  - Damaged connector locks.
  - Corrosion.
  - Other signs of water intrusion.
  - Weather seal damage (if equipped).
  - Bent terminals.
  - Overheating due to a poor connection (terminal may be discolored due to excessive current draw).
  - Terminals that have been pushed back into the connector cavity.
  - Check for spread terminals and verify proper terminal tension.
  Repair any conditions that are found.
6. Reconnect all PCM harness connectors. Be certain that all harness connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
7. Reconnect all in-line harness connectors (if equipped). Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
8. Reconnect all related component harness connectors. Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
9. With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
10. Test drive or operate the vehicle in accordance with the when monitored and set conditions.
11. With the scan tool, read DTCs.
  Did the DTC return?
  
  Yes
  - Replace the Powertrain Control Module in accordance with the Service information. Refer to MODULE, POWERTRAIN CONTROL (PCM), REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
  No
