N O T E

• Make sure all the fuel injectors operate. High

resistance in a fuel injector circuit causes the fuel
injector to be inoperative without setting a fuel injector
DTC.

• Return to this diagnostic after you complete the Fuel

Injector Coil Test.

7.18 DTC

P0324

DTC Descriptor

This diagnostic procedure supports DTC P0324 – Knock Sensor Module Performance

Circuit Description

The ECM supplies the ground to the knock sensor (KS) low reference circuit. The KS produces a signal voltage, which is
proportional to the level of the engine vibration or spark knock.

When the ECM detects an excessive spark knock, it retards the ignition timing until the spark knock stops.

The KS circuitry within the ECM receives, amplifies, filters and evaluates the KS signal voltage. The ECM performs the
following tests to determine if the ECM internal KS circuitry is functioning correctly.

Engine Management – V6 – Diagnostics

Page 6C1-2–108

Test One

The ECM performs the following:

1

Turns off the knock sensor signal circuits.

2

Applies different test signals to the ECM internal KS circuitry.

3

Verifies each test signal output response is within range.

4

If the ECM detects any of the tested signals are not within the normal range, DTC P0324 sets.

Test Two

The ECM performs the following:

1

Turns off the knock sensor signal circuits.

2

Tests for any output response when no test signals are applied.

3

If the ECM detects an output response, DTC P0324 sets.

Test Three

1

Turns off the knock sensor signal circuits.

2

Generates an internal test pulse then monitors the return signal.

3

If the return test pulse is less than a calibrated threshold, DTC P0324 sets.

DTC P0324 sets if the ECM detects an incorrect response to the ECM internal KS circuitry tests.

Conditions for Running the DTC

Condition One

Runs continuously once the following conditions are met:

•

The ECM is controlling the ignition spark.

•

The engine speed is less than 2,300 rpm and steady.

•

The volumetric efficiency is steady.

Condition Two

Runs continuously once the following conditions are met:

•

The ECM is controlling the ignition spark.

•

The engine speed is 1,000 – 4,000 rpm

•

The engine coolant temperature is greater than 60

° C.

•

The volumetric efficiency is steady.

Condition Three

Runs continuously once the following conditions are met:

•

The ECM is controlling the ignition spark.

•

The engine speed is less than 2,300 rpm and steady.

•

The engine coolant temperature is greater than 40

° C.

•

The volumetric efficiency is steady.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The ECM detects an incorrect response to an internal ECM KS circuitry test.

Engine Management – V6 – Diagnostics

Page 6C1-2–109

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

DTC P0324 – Knock Sensor (KS) Module Performance is a Type B DTC. Refer to 1.4

Diagnostic Trouble Codes in

this Section, for action taken when a Type B DTC sets and conditions for clearing Type B DTC.

Additional Information

•

Refer to 6C1-1 Engine Management – V6 – General Information for details of the knock sensor (KS) system
operation.

•

The ECM turns off the KS signal circuits when performing the ECM internal KS circuitry tests. DTC P0324 sets if
there is a fault condition in the internal ECM KS circuitry. Therefore, the KS and the KS signal circuits are not
tested in DTC P0324 Diagnostic Table.

•

For an intermittent fault condition, refer to 5.2

Intermittent Fault Conditions in this Section.

•

Since fault condition in a wiring connector may trigger DTCs, always test the connectors related to this diagnostic
procedure for shorted terminals or poor wiring connection before replacing any component. Refer to 8A Electrical -
Body and Chassis for information on electrical fault diagnosis.

•

To assist diagnosis, refer to 3 Wiring Diagrams and Connector Charts in this Section, for the system wiring
diagram and connector charts.
