Test Three
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Saturn Outlook, 2009 GMC Acadia, 2009 Chevrolet Traverse, and 2009 Buick Enclave. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The ECM internally turns OFF the knock sensor signal circuits. The ECM generates an internal test pulse and monitors the return signal. If the return test pulse is less than a calibrated threshold, this DTC sets.
