Resistance Inspection

  1. Disconnect the negative battery cable. (See BATTERY REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [MZI-3.7] .)
  2. Disconnect the KS connector. (See KNOCK SENSOR (KS) REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
  3. Measure the resistance between the KS terminals.
    • KS: terminals A and B (KS (LH))
    • KS: terminals C and D (KS (RH))
      • If not as specified, replace the KS. (See KNOCK SENSOR (KS) REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
      • If the KS is normal, but PID value is out of specification, perform the "Circuit Open/Short Inspection".
