All models
Range A shows the resistance values for the
temperature range from 0-50 C, and range B
shows the values for the temperature range from
50-100 C.

Read-out examples:
If specified value is not obtained:
If specified value is obtained:
30 C corresponds to a resistance of 1500 to 2000 80 C corresponds to a resistance of 275 to 375
- Replace coolant temperature sensor.

Knock recognition control stop,
checking

The following tests must be performed when a
DTC is stored that relates to "knock recognition
control limit reached".

Possible cause
Corrective action
DTC for all cylinders
Poor fuel quality- Change fuel quality
(see operating instructions)
or
DTC for all cylinders in one
row Knock sensor tightened to incorrect
torque - Loosen knock sensors and tighten to 20
Nm
Knock sensor faulty- Check knock sensors Page 28
-41

Corrosion at harness connector
Engine accessories loose- Secure engine accessories
DTC for one Cylinder Engine damage- Check compression pressure
Engine accessories loose- Secure engine accessories

- Also check ignition angle retardation of the
individual cylinders Page 28
