Conditions for Setting the DTC
P0324
The ECM detects that the knock sensor signal indicates an excessive engine knock is present for greater than 10 s for at least 1 single cylinder.
P0325 and P0330
The ECM detects that the knock sensor signal circuits are open for greater than 10 s.
P0326 and P0331
* The ECM detects that the knock sensor signal indicates the sensor harness is connected, but the sensor is not properly bolted to the engine.
OR
* The ECM detects that the knock sensor signal indicates an excessive engine knock is present in an entire bank.
* Either of the above conditions exist for greater than 10 s.
P0327 and P0332
The ECM detects that the knock sensor signal circuits are shorted to ground for greater than 10 s.
P0328 and P0333
The ECM detects that the knock sensor signal circuits are shorted to voltage for greater than 10 s.
P06B6 and P06B7
The ECM has detected an internal knock sensor processor fault.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
* DTCs P0324, P0325, P0326, P0327, P0328, P0330, P0331, P0332 P0333, P06B6, and P06B7 are Type B DTCs.
* The ignition timing is retarded to reduce the potential of engine damaging spark knock.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
DTCs P0324, P0325, P0326, P0327, P0328, P0330, P0331, P0332 P0333, P06B6, and P06B7 are Type B DTCs.
Diagnostic Aids
* Inspect the knock sensor for physical damage. A knock sensor that is dropped or damaged may cause a DTC to set.
* Inspect the knock sensor for proper installation. A knock sensor that is loose or over torqued may cause a DTC to set. The knock sensor
should be free of thread sealant.
* The knock sensor mounting surface should be free of burrs, casting flash, and foreign material.
