HEAT METHOD: When the problem seems to occur when the suspect area is heated. 2
NOTICE:3 WATER SPRINKLING METHOD:
(1)
(2)
4 OTHER: When a malfunction seems to occur when electrical load is excessive.When the malfunction seems to occur on a rainy day or in a
high-humidity condition. Heat the component that is the likely cause of the malfunction
with a hair dryer or similar object. Check to see if the malfunction
occurs.
Sprinkle water onto the vehicle and check to see if the malfunc-
tion occurs.
Turn on all electrical loads including the heater blower, head
lights, rear window defogger, etc. and check to see if the mal-
function occurs.ON HINT:
If a vehicle is subject to water leakage, the leaked water may
contaminate the ECU. When testing a vehicle with a water leak-
age problem, special caution must be taken.
Malfunc-
tion
Do not heat to more than 60°C (140°F). (Temperature
is limited not to damage the components.)
Do not apply heat directly to parts in the ECU. (1)
(2)
Never sprinkle water directly into the engine compart-
ment, but indirectly change the temperature and hu-
midity by applying water spray onto the radiator front
surface.
Never apply water directly onto the electronic compo-
nents. NOTICE:

4. DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART
The inspection procedure is shown in the table below. This table permits efficient and accurate troubleshoot-
ing using the diagnostic trouble codes displayed in the diagnostic trouble code check. Proceed with trouble-
shooting in accordance with the inspection procedure given in the diagnostic chart corresponding to the
diagnostic trouble codes displayed. The engine diagnostic trouble code chart is shown below as an example.

5. PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE
The suspected circuits or parts for each problem symptom are shown in the table below. Use this table to
troubleshoot the problem when a ºNormalº code is displayed in the diagnostic trouble code check but the
problem is still occurring. Numbers in the table indicate the inspection order in which the circuits or parts
should be checked.
HINT:
When the problem is not detected by the diagnostic system even though the problem symptom is present,
it is considered that the problem is occurring outside the detection range of the diagnostic system, or that
the problem is occurring in a system other than the diagnostic system.

DTC P0325Knock Sensor 1 Circuit Malfunction
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.
DTC No. DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
P0325No knock sensor 1 signal to ECM with engine speed,
1,200 rpm or more.
Open or short in knock sensor1 circuit

Knock sensor 1 (looseness)

ECM
If the ECM detects the above diagnosis conditions, it operates the fall safe function in which the corrective retard angle
value is set to the maximum value.

Diagnostic Trouble Code No. and Detection Item

Circuit Description
The major role and operation, etc. of the circuit
and its component parts are explained.

Indicates the diagnostic trouble code, diagnostic
trouble code set parameter and suspect area of
the problem.
