DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE WITH DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC)

Step

Value

Yes

No

1

CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN KNOCK SEN-
SOR 1 AND ECM CONNECTOR.
1) Turn ignition switch to OFF.
2) Disconnect connector from ECM.
3) Measure resistance between ECM harness

connector and chassis ground.

Connector & terminal

(B135) No. 4 — Chassis ground:

Does the measured value exceed the spec-
ified value?

700 k

Ω

Go to step 2.

Repair harness
and connector.

NOTE:
In this case, repair
the following:
• Open circuit in
harness between
knock sensor 1
(RH) and ECM
connector
• Poor contact in
knock sensor 1
(RH) connector
• Poor contact in
coupling connector

2

CHECK KNOCK SENSOR 1 (RH).
1) Disconnect connector from knock sensor 1

(RH).

2) Measure resistance between knock sensor

connector terminal and engine ground.

Terminal

No. 2 — Engine ground:

Does the measured value exceed the spec-
ified value?

700 k

Ω

Go to step 3.

Repair harness
and connector.

NOTE:
In this case, repair
the following:
• Open circuit in
harness between
knock sensor 1
(RH) and ECM
connector
• Poor contact in
knock sensor 1
(RH) connector
• Poor contact in
coupling connector

3

CHECK CONDITION OF KNOCK SENSOR 1
(RH) INSTALLATION.
Is the knock sensor 1 (RH) installation bolt
tightened securely?

Tightened securely.

Replace knock
sensor 1 (RH).
<Ref. to
FU(H6DO)-32,
Knock Sensor.>

Tighten knock
sensor 1 (RH)
installation bolt
securely.

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE WITH DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC)

Step

Value

Yes

No

1

CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN KNOCK SEN-
SOR 1 (RH) AND ECM CONNECTOR.
Measure resistance of harness between ECM
connector and chassis ground.

Connector & terminal

(B135) No. 4 — Chassis ground:

Is the measured value less than the specified
value?

400 k

Ω

Go to step 2.

Go to step 3.

2

CHECK KNOCK SENSOR 1 (RH).
1) Disconnect connector from knock sensor 1

(RH).

2) Measure resistance between knock sensor

connector terminal and engine ground.

Terminal

No. 2 — Engine ground:

Is the measured value less than the speci-
fied value?

400 k

Ω

Replace knock
sensor 1 (RH).
<Ref. to
FU(H6DO)-32,
Knock Sensor.>

Repair ground
short circuit in har-
ness between
knock sensor 1
(RH) connector
and ECM connec-
tor.

NOTE:
The harness be-
tween both con-
nectors is
shielded. Repair
short circuit of har-
ness together with
shield.

3

CHECK INPUT SIGNAL FOR ECM.
1) Connect connectors to ECM and knock

sensor 1 (RH).

2) Turn ignition switch to ON.
3) Measure voltage between ECM and chas-

sis ground.

Connector & terminal

(B135) No. 4 (+) — Chassis ground (

−−−−

):

Does the measured value exceed the spec-
ified value?

2 V

Even if MI lights
up, the circuit has
returned to a nor-
mal condition at
this time. (How-
ever, the possibil-
ity of poor contact
still remains.)

NOTE:
In this case, repair
the following:
• Poor contact in
knock sensor 1
(RH) connector
• Poor contact in
ECM connector
• Poor contact in
coupling connector

Repair poor con-
tact in ECM con-
nector.
