- An open or short circuit on knock sensor wire to ECM/PCM/VCM will set a related trouble code. A false detonation signal will not cause ECM/PCM/VCM to set a code.
- If a scan tester is available, connect it to Data Link Connector (DLC). Tap on engine next to knock sensor and note "knock" parameter. Knock should be indicated on scan tester.
- If a scan tester is not available, connect tachometer to engine. Start engine and hold RPM above idle. Using a metal object, tap on engine close to knock sensor. A noticeable decrease in engine RPM should occur. If no RPM decrease occurred, check knock sensor to ECM/PCM/VCM circuit.
- On vehicles equipped with automatic transmission, it may be necessary to place transmission in Drive for timing change to occur. See KNOCK SENSORΒ under ENGINE SENSORS & SWITCHES.
