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
P0325No knock sensor 1 signal to ECM with engine speed, 2,000
rpm or more
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.

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 KNK1 of ECM connector and body ground.
PREPARATION:
(a) Remove the ECM with connector still connected (See
page SF±62).
(b) Disconnect the E7 connector of the ECM.
CHECK:
Measure resistance between terminal KNK1 of the ECM con-
nector and body ground.
OK:
Resistance: 1 MW or higher
OK Go to step 3.

2 Check knock sensor (See page SF±56).
NG Replace knock sensor.
OK
3 Check for open and short in harness and connector between ECM and knock
sensor (See page IN±41).
NG Repair or replace harness or connector.
OK

4 Does malfunction disappear when a good knock sensor is installed?
YES Replace knock sensor.
NO
Check and replace ECM (See page IN±41).
Reference: INSPECTION USING OSCILLOSCOPE

With the engine racing (4,000 rpm) measure between ter-
minal 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 m sec.
(Normal mode vibration frequency of knock sensor:
8.1 kHz)
HINT:
If normal mode vibration frequency is not 8.1 kHz the sensor is
malfunctioning.

DTC P0335 Crankshaft Position Sensor ºAº Circuit
Malfunction
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Crankshaft position sensor (NE signal) consist of a signal plate and pick up coil.
The NE signal plate has 34 teeth and is mounted on the crankshaft. The NE signal sensor generates 34
signals of every engine revolution. The ECM detects the standard crankshaft angle based on the G2 signals,
and the actual crankshaft angle the engine speed by the NE signals.
DTC No.DTC Detecting ConditionTrouble Area
No crankshaft position sensor signal to ECM during cranking.
