DTC P0327, P0328; Knock Sensor 1 Circuit Low Input (Bank 1 or Single Sensor) [12/2012 - ]: Procedure

  1. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (KNOCK FEEDBACK VALUE) 
    1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Start the engine.
    3. Turn the Techstream on.
    4. Warm up the engine.
    5. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Primary / Knock Feedback Value.

      Powertrain > Engine and ECT > Data List 

      Tester Display
      Knock Feedback Value
    6. Read the value while driving the vehicle.

      OK

      The value changes.

      HINT: 

      Malfunction does not occur Knock Feedback Value changes
      Malfunctions occur Knock Feedback Value does not change

      The Knock Feedback Value change can be confirmed by running the engine with a high load, for example, by activating the air conditioning system and racing the engine.

    Result: 

    OK 

    CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS:  CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS [12/2012 - ] 

    Result: 

    NG 

    See step  2

  2. CHECK TERMINAL VOLTAGE (POWER SOURCE OF KNOCK CONTROL SENSOR) 
    1. Disconnect the knock control sensor connector.

    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
    3. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Voltage

      Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition
      X1-2 (KNK1) - X1-1 (EKNK) Ignition switch ON 4.5 to 5.5 V

    Result: 

    NG 

    See step  4

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  3

  3. INSPECT KNOCK CONTROL SENSOR 
    1. Inspect the knock control sensor.

      Refer to INSPECTION [12/2012 - ]

      HINT: 

      Perform "Inspection After Repair" after replacing the knock control sensor.

      Refer to INITIALIZATION [12/2012 - ]

    Result: 

    OK 

    REPLACE ECM:  REMOVAL [12/2012 - ] 

    Result: 

    NG 

    REPLACE KNOCK CONTROL SENSOR:  REMOVAL [12/2012 - ] 

  4. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (KNOCK CONTROL SENSOR - ECM) 
    1. Disconnect the knock control sensor connector.
    2. Disconnect the ECM connector.
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      X1-2 (KNK1) - B77-123 (KNK1) Always Below 1 Ω
      X1-1 (EKNK) - B77-124 (EKNK) Always Below 1 Ω
      X1-2 (KNK1) or B77-123 (KNK1) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

    Result: 

    OK 

    REPLACE ECM:  REMOVAL [12/2012 - ] 

    Result: 

    NG 

    REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
