If there is engine damage (oil burning because of faulty piston)
If a knock sensor malfunction is recognized in DTC memory, ignition map switching is blocked.
Notes on display field 4:
Knock control is active starting at an engine load greater than 40% Display groups 013 and/or 014. The ignition timing point retarding values are only used when knock control is "active."

Display groups 013 and 014
Notes on display fields 2, 3 and 4:
Knock control is active starting at an engine load greater than 40%. If the engine load exceeds 40%, the current ignition timing
point retarding value is displayed; if the engine load drops below 40%, the last values used are displayed constantly.
If there is audible knocking without recognizable retarding of the ignition timing point, the engine speed should be increased
over 3500 RPM for 5 seconds to initiate the knock sensor malfunction recognition (On Board Diagnostic).
If an ignition timing point retarding value of one cylinder deviates from the others, the following malfunctions are possible:
Loose subassemblies
Corrosion on the harness connector
Engine damage (e.g. oil combustion with faulty piston)
If there are high ignition timing point retarding values on all cylinders of bank 1 or bank 2, the following malfunctions are
possible:
Corrosion on the harness connector display groups 015 and 016 Knock sensor tightening torque, 20 Nm (14 ft lb), not OK
Open circuit display groups 015 and 016 Knock sensor faulty

Display groups 015 and 016
Notes on display fields 2, 3 and 4:
If there is a difference of more than a factor of 3 between the lowest and the highest knock sensor signal in one display group,
the following malfunction is possible:
Corrosion on the harness connector
If there are differences of more than 50% in knock sensor signal between display group 015 (cylinders 1 to 3) and display
group 016 (cylinders 4 to 6), the following malfunctions are possible:
Corrosion on the harness connector
Open circuit
Knock sensor faulty
If no malfunctions are found during the electrical testing of the knock sensor, the wiring and the connections, the engine
should be checked for loose subassemblies or engine damage (e.g. oil burning due to faulty piston) Display groups 013
and/or 014.
