1

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

ness 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 the har-
ness and connec-
tor.

NOTE:
In this case, repair
the following:
• Open circuit in
harness between
knock sensor and
ECM connector
• Poor contact in
knock sensor con-
nector
• Poor contact in
coupling connector

2

CHECK KNOCK SENSOR.
1) Disconnect the connector from knock sen-

sor.

2) Measure the 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 the har-
ness and connec-
tor.

NOTE:
In this case, repair
the following:
• Open circuit in
harness between
knock sensor and
ECM connector
• Poor contact in
knock sensor con-
nector
• Poor contact in
coupling connector
