CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Knock sensor is fitted to the cylinder block to detect engine knocking. This sensor contains a piezoelectric element which
generates a voltage when it becomes deformed, which occurs when the cylinder block vibrates due to knocking. If engine
knocking occurs, ignition timing is retarded to suppress it.

HOW TO USE THE DIAGNOSTIC
CHART AND INSPECTION
PROCEDURE
1. CONNECTOR CONNECTION AND TERMINAL IN-
SPECTION
For troubleshooting, diagnostic trouble code charts or
problem symptom table are provided for each circuit with
detailed inspection procedures on the following pages.
When all the component parts, wire harnesses and con-
nectors of each circuit except the ECU are found to be
normal in troubleshooting, then it is determined that the
problem is in the ECU. Accordingly, if diagnosis is per-
formed without the problem symptoms occurring,refer to
step 8 to replace the ECU, even if the problem is not in the
ECU. So always confirm that the problem symptoms are
occurring, or proceed with inspection while using the
symptom simulation method.
The instructions ”Check wire harness and connector” and
”Check and replace ECU” which appear in the inspection
procedure, are common and applicable to all diagnostic
trouble codes. Follow the procedure outlined below
whenever these instructions appear.
OPEN CIRCUIT:
This could be due to and a disconnected wire harness, faulty
contact in the connector, a connector terminal pulled out, etc.
HINT:
It is rarely the case that a wire is broken in the middle of
it. Most cases occur at the connector. In particular, care-
fully check the connectors of sensors and actuators.
Faulty contact could be due to rusting of the connector
terminals, to foreign materials entering terminals or a de-
formation of connector terminals between the male and
female terminals of the connector. Simply disconnecting
and reconnecting the connectors once changes the
condition of the connection and may result in a return to
normal operation. Therefore, in troubleshooting, if no ab-
normality is found in the wire harness and connector
check, but the problem disappears after the check, then
the cause is considered to be in the wire harness or con-
nectors.
SHORT CIRCUIT:
This could be due to a connect between the wire harness and
the body ground or to a short occurred inside the switch etc.
HINT:
When there is a short circuit between the wire harness and body
ground, check thoroughly whether the wire harness is caught
in the body or is clamped properly.

2. CONTINUITY CHECK (OPEN CIRCUIT CHECK)
(a) Disconnect the connectors at both ECU and sensor
sides.
(b) Measure the resistance between the applicable terminals
of the connectors.
HINT:
Measure the resistance while lightly shaking the wire har-
ness vertically and horizontally.
When tester probes are inserted into a connector, insert
the probes from the back. For waterproof connectors in
which the probes cannot be inserted from the back, be
careful not to bend the terminals when inserting the tester
probes.
3. RESISTANCE CHECK (SHORT CIRCUIT CHECK)
(a) Disconnect the connectors on both ends.
(b) Measure the resistance between the applicable terminals
of the connectors and body ground. Be sure to carry out
this check on the connectors on both ends.
Resistance: 1 MΩ or higher
HINT:
Measure the resistance while lightly shaking the wire harness
vertically and horizontally.
4. VISUAL CHECK AND CONTACT PRESSURE CHECK
(a) Disconnect the connectors at both ends.
(b) Check for rust or foreign material, etc. in the terminals of
the connectors.
(c) Check crimped portions for looseness or damage and
check if the terminals are secured in lock portion.
HINT:
The terminals should not come out when pulled lightly.
(d) Prepare a test male terminal and insert it in the female ter-
minal, then pull it out.
NOTICE:
When testing a gold−plated female terminal, always use a
gold−plated male terminal.
HINT:
When the test terminal is pulled out more easily than others,
there may be poor contact in that section.

5. CONNECTOR HANDLING
When inserting tester probes into a connector, insert them from
the rear of the connector. When necessary, use mini test leads.
For water resistant connectors which cannot be accessed from
behind, take good care not to deform the connector terminals.
6. CHECK OPEN CIRCUIT
For the open circuit in the wire harness in Fig.1, perform ”(a)
Continuity Check” or ”(b) Voltage Check” to locate the section.
(a) Check the continuity.
(1) Disconnect connectors ”A” and ”C” and measure
the resistance between them.
In the case of Fig.2,
Between terminal 1 of connector ”A” and terminal 1
of connector ”C” → No continuity (open)
Between terminal 2 of connector ”A” and terminal 2
of connector ”C” → Continuity
Therefore, it is found out that there is an open circuit
between terminal 1 of connector ”A” and terminal 1
of connector ”C”.
(2) Disconnect connector ”B” and measure the resis-
tance between the connectors.
In the case of Fig.3,
Between terminal 1 of connector ”A” and terminal 1
of connector ”B1” → Continuity
Between terminal 1 of connector ”B2” and terminal
1 of connector ”C” → No continuity (open)
Therefore, it is found out that there is an open circuit
between terminal 1 of connector ”B2” and terminal
1 of connector ”C”.

(b) Check the voltage.
In a circuit in which voltage is applied (to the ECU connec-
tor terminal), an open circuit can be checked for by con-
ducting a voltage check.
As shown in Fig.4, with each connector still connected,
measure the voltage between body ground and terminal
1 of connector ”A” at the ECU 5V output terminal, terminal
1 of connector ”B”, and terminal 1 of connector ”C”, in that
order.
If the results are:
5V: Between Terminal 1 of connector ”A” and Body Ground
5V: Between Terminal 1 of connector ”B” and Body Ground
0V: Between Terminal 1 of connector ”C” and Body Ground
Then it is found out that there is an open circuit in the wire har-
ness between terminal 1 of ”B” and terminal 1 of ”C”.
7. CHECK SHORT CIRCUIT
If the wire harness is ground shorted as in Fig.5, locate the sec-
tion by conducting a ”continuity check with ground”.
Check the continuity with ground.
(1) Disconnect connectors ”A” and ”C” and measure
the resistance between terminal 1 and 2 of connec-
tor ”A” and body ground.
In the case of Fig.6
Between terminal 1 of connector ”A” and body
ground → Continuity (short)
Between terminal 2 of connector ”A” and body
ground → No continuity
Therefore, it is found out that there is a short circuit
between terminal 1 of connector ”A” and terminal 1
of connector ”C”.
