Is DTC P0328 indicated?

     
YES
     
     
     
The failure is duplicated. Go to step 2.
     
NO
     
     
     
Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the knock sensor and the PCM. If the on-board snapshot of this DTC is recorded, try to reproduce the failure under the same conditions with the on-board snapshot.?
2.
Determine possible failure area (knock sensor, others):

Go to step 4.
4.
Open wire check (KS line):

Open wire check (KS line)
?1.
Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

?2.
Jump the SCS line with the HDS, and wait more than 1 minute.


?3.
Disconnect the following connector.
PCM connector C (51P)

?4.
Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.
Test condition
Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
 
Knock sensor 2P connector: disconnected
 
PCM connector C (51P): disconnected
Test point 1
Knock sensor 2P connector (female terminals) No. 1:
Test point 2
PCM connector C (51P) No. 29


Is there continuity?

     
YES
     
     
     
The KS wire is OK. Check for any authorized service information related to the DTCs or symptoms you are troubleshooting or substitute a known-good PCM.?
     
NO
     
     
     
Repair an open in the KS wire between the PCM (C29) and the knock sensor.?
5.
