power supply relay -J271- continues to direct
current to terminal 121 of the Engine Control
Module (ECM) for up to 15 minutes after ignition
is switched off.

- Switch ignition on.

Knock recognition control stop,
checking

If a DTC is stored regarding "Knock control
regulation limit reached":

- Perform following tests:

Possible cause
Corrective action
DTC for all cylinders

Poor fuel quality
Operating instructions - Change fuel quality
or
Cylinder 1/2 or 3/4
Knock sensor tightened to incorrect torque- Loosen knock sensors and tighten to 20 Nm

Knock sensor faulty- Check knock sensor Page 28
-41


Corrosion at harness connector- Check harness connector

Engine accessories loose- Secure engine accessories
DTC for one Cylinder
Engine damage- Check compression pressure

Engine accessories loose- Secure engine accessories

Note:

Knock Sensor (KS) 1 -G61- and Knock Sensor
(KS) 2 -G66- themselves cannot be electrically
tested.
Use only gold-plated terminals when servicing
harness connector for knock sensors.
For the knock sensors to function properly, it is
important that tightening torque be exactly 20
Nm.
Check harness connector from knock sensor to
wiring harness for corrosion.

Checking knock sensor wiring

- Disconnect harness connector for Knock Sensor (KS) 1 -G61- (item no.
5) or Knock Sensor (KS) 2 -G66- (item no. 4) in engine compartment.

Check wires from knock sensors to Engine Control Module (ECM). - Check all three terminals at knock sensor connector for short circuit to
each other (terminal 1+2, 1+3, 2+3).

Specification: (no continuity) - the wires must not have any
connection to each other
- If there is no connection , replace knock sensor.
- If no short circuit is detected, check knock sensor wires:
- Connect VAG1598/31 test box at wiring harness to Engine Control
Module (ECM), do not connect ECM Page 24
-19
.
- Check following wire connections for open circuit and short circuit to
Ground (GND) and B+:

Knock Sensor (KS) 1 -G61- (cylinder 1/2)
Harness connector
Terminal
VAG1598/31 test box
Socket
