DTC P0325 Knock Sensor 1 Circuit Malfunction (Bank 1)
DTC P0330 Knock Sensor 2 Circuit Malfunction (Bank 2)
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Each of knock sensor is fitted to the right bank and left bank of 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 Detecting ConditionTrouble Area
P0325No knock sensor 1 signal to ECM with engine speed between
2,000 rpm and 5,600 rpm
Open or short in knock sensor 1 circuit

Knock sensor 1 (looseness)

ECM
P0330No knock sensor 1 signal to ECM with engine speed between
2,000 rpm and 5,600 rpm
Open or short in knock sensor 2 circuit

Knock sensor 2 (looseness)

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

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 was warmed up or not, the air-fuel
ratio was lean or rich, etc. at the time of the malfunction.
1 Connect OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand-held tester, and check knock sensor
circuit.
PREPARATION:
(a) Connect the OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand-held tes-
ter to the DLC3.
(b) Disconnect the wire from wire connector EB1.
(c) Connect the terminals of the disconnected EB1 male con-
nector and EB1 female as follows.
Male connector eFemale connector
Terminal 1 e Terminal 2
Terminal 2 e Terminal 1
(d) Turn the ignition switch ON and push the OBD II scan tool
or TOYOTA hand-held tester main switch ON.
(e) After the engine is warmed up, perform quick racing to
4,000 rpm 3 times.
CHECK:
Check the DTC.
RESULT:
Type IDTC same as when vehicle brought in
P0325 " P0325 or P0330 " P0330
Type IIDTC different to when vehicle brought in
P0325 " P0330 or P0330 " P0325
Reference: INSPECTION USING OSCILLOSCOPE

With the engine racing (4,000 rpm), check the waveform
between terminals KNKR, KNKL of the ECM connector
and body ground.
HINT:
The correct waveform is as shown.

Spread the time on the horizontal axis, and confirm that
period of the wave is 141 msec. (Normal mode vibration
frequency of knock sensor: 7.1 kHz)
HINT:
If normal mode vibration frequency is not 7.1 kHz, the sensor
is malfunctioning.
Type II Go to step 3.

Type I
2 Check for open and short in harness and connector between EB1 connector and
ECM (See page IN-30).
NG Repair or replace harness or connector.
OK
Check and replace ECM (See page IN-30).
3 Check for open and short in harness and connector between EB1 connector and
knock sensor (See page IN-30).
HINT:

If DTC P0325 has changed to P0330, check the knock sensor circuit on the right bank side.

If DTC P0330 has changed to P0325, check the knock sensor circuit on the left bank side.
NG Repair or replace harness or connector.
OK
Replace knock sensor.
