Conditions for Clearing the DTC
DTCs P0326, P0327, P0328, P0331, P0332, and P0333 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.
* The knock sensor must be clear of hoses, brackets, and engine electrical wiring.
* With the knock sensor disconnected, the normal voltage measured from the knock sensor signal or the low reference circuit to ground is
between 2.30-2.80 V.

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 4.0 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, short to ground, or short to voltage
between the knock sensor circuits.
2. Ignition ON, test for 2-3 V between the signal circuit terminal A or 1 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 or 2 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
