Detection Condition
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Mazda 6. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
PCM monitors input signal from Knock Sensor (KS) when engine is running. If input voltage between PCM 30-pin harness connector terminals "2P" and "2S" is less than 0.9 volt, PCM determines KS circuit has malfunction. This is a Continuous Monitor (CM). MIL illuminates if PCM detects malfunction condition during first drive cycle. PENDING CODE is available if PCM detects malfunction condition. FREEZE FRAME DATA is available. DTC is stored in PCM memory.
