Circuit Description
Knock sensors are located on either side of cylinder block, under intake manifold. Knock sensor generates voltage when engine block vibrates due to knocking. DTC P0325 is for bank that includes cylinder No. 1. DTC P0330 is for bank that does not include cylinder No. 1. DTC is set when there is no knock sensor signal to ECM with engine speed 2000-5600 RPM.
