- An open or short circuit on knock sensor wire to PCM will set a related DTC. A false detonation signal will not cause PCM to set a DTC.
- Install scan tool. Using a metal object, tap on engine next to knock sensor and note knock parameter. Knock should be indicated on scan tool.
- If a scan tool 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-PCM circuit.
- On vehicles equipped with automatic transmission, it may be necessary to place transmission in Drive for timing change to occur.
