Circuit Description
The front knock sensor is located on left side of cylinder block under intake manifold. Sensor generates voltage when engine block vibrates due to knocking. Code is set when there is an open or short in knock sensor circuit to ECM with engine speed between 2050-5950 RPM. Possible causes are:
- Open or short in knock sensor circuit.
- Knock sensor (loose).
- ECM.
NOTE:
Conduct following test drive to simulate trouble code detecting condition after code is recorded, and to confirm malfunction is corrected after repair.
CAUTION:
If test conditions are not strictly followed, detection of malfunction will not be possible.
