    Is DTC P0328 indicated?

    YES 

    The failure is duplicated. Go to step 2.

    NO 

    Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at knock sensor 1 (Bank 1) and the PCM.

  2. Determine possible failure area (knock sensor 1 (Bank 1), others)

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    -2. Disconnect the following connector.

    Knock sensor 1 (Bank 1) 2P connector

    -3. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    -4. Measure the voltage between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle ON mode
      Knock sensor 1 (Bank 1) 2P connector: disconnected
    Test circuit KS B1, KSSGB1
    Test point 1 Knock sensor 1 (Bank 1) 2P connector No. 1 (GRN)
    Test point 2 Knock sensor 1 (Bank 1) 2P connector No. 2 (RED)

    Is there about 5.0 V?

    YES 

    Replace knock sensor 1 (Bank 1) , then do the repair verification.

    NO 

    Go to step 3.

  3. Open wire check (KS B1 line)

    -1. Measure the voltage between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle ON mode
      Knock sensor 1 (Bank 1) 2P connector: disconnected
    Test circuit KS B1
    Test point 1 Knock sensor 1 (Bank 1) 2P connector No. 2 (RED)
    Test point 2 Body ground

    Is there about 5.0 V?

    YES 

    The KS B1 wire is OK. Go to step 5.

    NO 

    Go to step 4.

  4. Open wire check (KSB1/KS B1 line)

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    -2. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.

    -3. Disconnect the following connector.

    PCM connector C (51P)

    -4. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
      Knock sensor 1 (Bank 1) 2P connector: disconnected
      PCM connector C (51P): disconnected
    Test circuit KSB1, KS B1
    Test point 1 Knock sensor 1 (Bank 1) 2P connector No. 2 (RED)
    Test point 2 PCM connector C (51P) No. 41 (RED)

    Is there continuity?

    YES 

    The KSB1/KS B1 wire is OK. Update the PCM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good PCM , then do the repair verification.

    NO 

    Repair an open in the KSB1/KS B1 wire between the PCM (C41) and knock sensor 1 (Bank 1), then do the repair verification.

  5. Open wire check (KSSGB1 line)

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    -2. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.

    -3. Disconnect the following connector.

    PCM connector C (51P)

    -4. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
      Knock sensor 1 (Bank 1) 2P connector: disconnected
      PCM connector C (51P): disconnected
    Test circuit KSSGB1
    Test point 1 Knock sensor 1 (Bank 1) 2P connector No. 1 (GRN)
    Test point 2 PCM connector C (51P) No. 42 (GRN)

    Is there continuity?

    YES 

    The KSSGB1 wire is OK. Update the PCM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good PCM , then do the repair verification.

    NO 

    Repair an open in the KSSGB1 wire between the PCM (C42) and knock sensor 1 (Bank 1), then do the repair verification.

  6. Repair verification

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    -2. Reconnect all connectors.

    -3. Exit the SCS mode with the HDS.

    -4. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    -5. Reset the PCM with the HDS .

    Reset PCM

    -6. Do the PCM idle learn procedure.

    -7. Check for Pending or Confirmed DTCs with the HDS.

    DTC (PGM-FI)

    Is DTC P0328 indicated?

    YES 

    Check for poor connections or loose terminals at knock sensor 1 (Bank 1) and the PCM. If the PCM was updated, substitute a known-good PCM , then recheck. If the PCM was substituted, go to step 1.

    NO 

    Troubleshooting is complete. If the PCM was substituted, replace the original PCM . If any other Pending or Confirmed DTCs are indicated, go to the indicated DTC's troubleshooting.
