DTC P0325 Knock Sensor 1 Circuit Malfunction
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The knock sensor is fitted to the cylinder block to detect engine knocking. This sensor contains a piezoelec-
tric element which generates a voltage when it becomes deformed, which occurs when the cylinder block
vibrates due to knocking. If engine knocking occurs, ignition timing is retarded to suppress it.

DI–72 DIAGNOSTICS – ENGINE 1 Check continuity between terminal KNK of ECM connector and body ground. PREPARATION: LOCK (a) Remove the ECM cover. (b) Disconnect the E5 connector of the ECM. CHECK: Measure resistance between terminal KNK of the ECM connec- tor and body ground. OK: Resistance: 1 MW or higher KNK1 A09094 A09086 OK Go to step 3. NG 2 Check knock sensor 1 (See page SF–68). NG Replace knock sensor 1. OK 3 Check for open and short in harness and connector between ECM and knock sensor 1

DI–73 DIAGNOSTICS – ENGINE 4 Does malfunction disappear when a good knock sensor 1 is installed? YES Replace knock sensor 1. NO Check and replace ECM (See page IN–30). Reference: INSPECTION USING OSCILLOSCOPE KNK signal waveform With the engine racing (4,000 rpm) measure between ter- 0.5V/ minal KNK of the ECM connector and body ground. Division HINT: The correct waveforms are as shown. 0V Spread the time on the horizontal axis, and confirm that period of the wave is 80 m sec. 5 m sec.
