Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
The knock sensor (KS) system enables the engine control module (ECM) to control the ignition timing for the best possible performance while
protecting the engine from potentially damaging levels of detonation. The ECM monitors 2 separate KS, one on each side of the engine block. Each
KS produces an AC voltage that varies, depending on the vibration levels detected during engine operation. The ECM receives the KS signal
through 2 isolated signal circuits for each KS. The ECM adjusts the spark timing based on the amplitude and frequency of each KS signal. The
ECM learns a minimum noise level for each sensor at idle speeds, and uses calibrated noise level values for the rest of the RPM range. The ECM
should monitor a normal KS signal within the noise channel.
