Diagnostic Aids

Inspect for the following conditions:

• A loose KS can cause a loss of the KS signal. Check the KS for proper torque. The correct KS sensor torque is 39 N.m (29 lb ft).
• Engine acceleration will be compromised and AT downshifts delayed when operating in the Fail-safe mode.
• If a DTC P0325 sets while the engine is idling, inspect for a loose connection at the PCM or KS.

An intermittent malfunction may be caused by a fault in the KS sensor electrical circuit. Inspect the wiring harness and the components for an intermittent condition. Refer to Intermittent Conditions .

The information included in the Freeze Frame data can be useful in determining the vehicle operating conditions present when the DTC first set.
