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 P0328 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.
