DTC P0325 Knock Sensor 1 Circuit Malfunction
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The knock sensor is fitted to the cylinder block to detect engine knocking. This sensor contains a piezoelec-
tric 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 Detecting ConditionTrouble Area
P0325
No knock sensor 1 signal to ECM with engine speed, 1,200
rpm or more
(2 trip detection logic)
Open or short in knock sensor 1 circuit

Knock sensor 1 (looseness)

ECM
HINT:
If the ECM detects above diagnosis conditions, it operates the fail safe function in which the corrective retard
angle value is set to the maximum value.
WIRING DIAGRAM
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
Read freeze frame data using TOYOTA hand±held tester or OBD II scan tool. Because freeze frame records
the engine conditions when the malfunction is detected, when troubleshooting it is useful for determining
whether the vehicle was running or stopped, the engine warmed up or not, the air±fuel ratio lean or rich, etc.
at the time of the malfunction.

1 Check continuity between terminal KNK of ECM connector and body ground.
PREPARATION:
(a) Remove the glove compartment (See page SF±64).
(b) Disconnect the E8 connector from the ECM.
CHECK:
Measure resistance between terminal KNK of the ECM connec-
tor and body ground.
OK:
Resistance: 1 MW or higher
OK Go to step 3.
NG
2 Check knock sensor 1 (See page SF±57).
NG Replace knock sensor 1.
OK
3 Check for open and short in harness and connector between ECM and knock
sensor 1 (See page IN±31).
NG Repair or replace harness or connector.

4 Does malfunction disappear when good knock sensor 1 is installed?
YES Replace knock sensor 1.
NO
Check and replace ECM (See page IN±31).
Reference: INSPECTION USING OSCILLOSCOPE
With the engine racing (4,000 rpm), measure between terminal
KNK of the ECM connector and body ground.
HINT:
The correct waveforms are as shown.
Spread the time on the horizontal axis, and confirm that period
of the wave is 132 msec.
(Normal mode vibration frequency of knock sensor:
7.6 kHz)
HINT:
If normal mode vibration frequency is not 7.6 kHz the sensor is
malfunctioning.
