DTC P0327 KNOCK SENSOR 1 CIRCUIT LOW (BANK 1 OR SINGLE SENSOR) - DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

Step Check Yes No
1 CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN KNOCK SENSOR AND ECM CONNECTOR. 
  1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
  2. Disconnect the connectors from ECM.
  3. Measure the resistance of harness between ECM harness connector and chassis ground.

    Connector & terminal 

    (B134) No. 15 - Chassis ground: 

Is the resistance more than 700 kΩ? Go to step 2.  Repair the harness and connector.
NOTE: In this case, repair the following item:
  • Open circuit in harness between knock sensor and ECM connector
  • Poor contact in knock sensor connector
  • Poor contact in coupling connector
2 CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN KNOCK SENSOR AND ECM CONNECTOR. 
  1. Disconnect the connector from knock sensor.
  2. Measure the resistance of harness between knock sensor connector terminal and ECM connector.

    Connector & terminal 

    (B134) No. 15 - (E14) No. 2: 

    (B134) No. 29 - (E14) No. 1: 

Is the resistance less than 1 Ω? Go to step 3.  Repair the harness and connector.
NOTE: In this case, repair the following item:
  • Open circuit in harness between knock sensor and ECM connector
  • Poor contact in knock sensor connector
  • Poor contact in coupling connector
3 CHECK KNOCK SENSOR. 
Measure the resistance between knock sensor connector terminals.
Terminals No. 1 - No. 2: 
Is the resistance more than 700 kΩ? Replace the knock sensor. < Ref. to KNOCK SENSOR . > Repair the harness and connector.
NOTE: In this case, repair the following item:
  • Poor contact in knock sensor connector
