Circuit/System Verification
1. Engine at operating temperature, all accessories OFF. Engine speed greater than 2,000 RPM, observe the appropriate scan tool knock sensor
signal voltage parameter. The voltage should be greater than 4 V.
2. Engine idling, move the related harnesses and connectors for the knock sensor circuits while observing the scan tool knock sensor signal
voltage parameters. The voltage should remain steady with no abrupt changes.
3. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC to verify the DTC does not reset. You may also operate the vehicle within the
conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.
Circuit/System Testing
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate B68 knock sensor.
Note: If the voltage is not within the specified range on either circuit, test for a wire to wire short, to ground or voltage between the knock
sensor circuits.
2. Ignition ON, test for 2-3 V between the signal circuit terminal A and ground.
瀚慖f less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuits/connections test
normal, replace the K20 ECM.
瀚慖f greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuits/connections test normal, replace the K20
ECM.
3. Test for 2-3 V between the low reference circuit terminal B and ground.
瀚慖f less than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuits/connections
test normal, replace the K20 ECM.
瀚慖f greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuits/connections test normal, replace the
K20 ECM.
4. If all circuits/connections test normal, replace the B68 knock sensor sensor.
