DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) P0327
KNOCK SENSOR CIRCUIT FAULT (1.4L DOHC)
Circuit Description
The knock sensor (KS) system is used to detect engine
detonation, allowing the engine control module (ECM) to
retard ignition control spark timing based on the KS signal
being received. The KS produces an AC signal so that un-
der a no knock condition the signal on the KS circuit mea-
sures about 0.007V AC. The KS signal’s amplitude and
frequency depend upon the amount of knock being experi-
enced. The ECM contains a non–replaceable knock filter
module called a signal–to–noise enhancement filter
(SNEF) module. This filter module in the ECM determines
whether knock is occurring by comparing the signal level
on the KS circuit with the voltage level on the noise chan-
nel. The noise channel allows the ECM to reject any false
knock signal by knowing the amount of normal engine me-
chanical noise present. Normal engine noise varies de-
pending on engine speed and load. When the ECM deter-
mines that an abnormally low noise channel voltage level
is being experienced, a DTC P0327 will set.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
S The knock sensor SPI bus in failure during 8 sec-
onds.
Or
S The knock sensor voltage is less than 0.3V.
S The engine coolant temperature is greater than
60°C (145°F).
S The engine speed is greater than 1,500 rpm.
S The mass air flow is higer than 180mg/tdc.
Or
S When difference between a original signal valve
and filtering valve is less than 5%.S The engine coolant temperature is greater than
60°C (145°F).
S The mass air flow is greater than 180mg/tdc.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
S The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) will not illumi-
nate.
S The ECM will store wnditions which were present
when the DTC was set as Failure Records data
only.
S This information will not be stored in the Freeze
Frame data.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
S A history DTC will clear after 40 consecutive warm–
up cycles without a fault.
S DTC(s) can be cleared by using the scan tool.
S Disconnecting the ECM battery feed for more than
10 seconds.
Diagnostic Aids
Check and correct any abnormal engine noise before us-
ing the diagnostic table.
Any circuitry that is suspected as causing engine noise
complaint should be thoroughly checked for the following
conditions :
S Backed–out terminals
S Improper mating
S Broken locks
S Improperly formed
S Damaged terminals
S Poor terminal–to–wire connection
S Physical damage to the wiring harness

KNOCK SENSOR CIRCUIT FAULT (1.6L DOHC)
Circuit Description
The knock sensor (KS) system is used to detect engine
detonation, allowing the transaxle control module
(TCM)/engine control module (ECM) to retard ignition con-
trol spark timing based on the KS signal being received.
The KS produces an AC signal so that under a no knock
condition the signal on the KS circuit measures about
0.007V AC. The KS signal’s amplitude and frequency de-
pend upon the amount of knock being experienced. The
ECM contains a non–replaceable knock filter module
called a signal–to–noise enhancement filter (SNEF) mod-
ule. This filter module in the ECM determines whether
knock is occurring by comparing the signal level on the KS
circuit with the voltage level on the noise channel. The
noise channel allows the ECM to reject any false knock
signal by knowing the amount of normal engine mechani-
cal noise present. Normal engine noise varies depending
on engine speed and load. When the ECM determines that
an abnormally low noise channel voltage level is being ex-
perienced, a DTC P0327 will set.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
S The knock sensor SPI bus in failure during 10 sec-
onds.
Or
S The knock sensor voltage is less than 0.3V.
S The engine coolant temperature is greater than
60°C(145°F).
S The engine speed is greater than 1,500rpm.
S The mass air flow is higer than 180mg/tdc.
Or
S When difference between a original signal valve
and filtering valve is less than 5%.S The engine coolant temperature is greater than
60°C(145°F).
S The mass air flow is greater than 170mg/tdc.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
S The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) will illuminate
after three consecutive trip with a fail.
S The ECM will record operating conditions at the
time the diagnostic fail. This information will be
stored in the Freeze Frame and Failure Records
buffers.
S A history DTC is stored.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
S The MIL will turn off after four consecutive ignition
cycles in which the diagnostic runs without a fault.
S A history DTC will clear after 40 consecutive warm–
up cycles without a fault.
S DTC(s) can be cleared by using the scan tool.
S Disconnecting the ECM battery feed for more than
10 seconds.

IGNITION SIGNAL COIL A FAULT
Circuit Description
The engine control module (ECM) provides a ground for
the electronic spark timing 1 circuit. When the ECM re-
moves the ground path of the ignition primary coil, the
magnetic field produced by the coil collapses. The collaps-
ing magnetic field produces a voltage in the secondary coil
which fires the spark plug. The circuit between the ECM
and the electronic ignition system is monitored for an open
circuit, short to voltage, and low voltage. When the ECM
detects a problem in the spark timing 1 circuit, it will set
DTC P0351.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
S The ignition signal coil A circuit is an open or a
short to ground or short to battery condition exists.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
S The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) will illumi-
nate.
S The ECM will record operating conditions at the
time the diagnostic fails. This information will be
stored in the Freeze Frame and Failure Records
buffers.S A history DTC is stored.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
S The MIL will turn off after four consecutive ignition
cycles in which the diagnostic runs without a fault.
S A history DTC will clear after 40 consecutive warm–
up cycles without a fault.
