- Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
- Clear the DTC with the HDS.
- Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at 3,000 rpm without load (A/T in P or N, M/T in neutral) until the radiator fan comes on, then let it idle.
- Hold the engine speed between 3,000-4,000 rpm for at least 10 seconds.
- Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS. Is DTC P0325 indicated? YES -Go to step 6. NO -Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the knock sensor and the ECM/PCM.
- Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
- Jump the SCS line with the HDS.
- Disconnect the knock sensor 1P connector.
- Disconnect ECM/PCM connector A (31P).
- Check for continuity between ECM/PCM connector terminal A1 and body ground. Is there continuity? YES -Repair short in the wire between the ECM/PCM (A1) and the knock sensor, then go to step 14 . NO -Go to step 11.
- Connect the knock sensor 1P connector terminal to body ground with a jumper wire.
- Check for continuity between ECM/PCM connector terminal A1 and body ground. Is there continuity? YES -Go to step 13. NO -Repair open in the wire between the ECM/PCM (A1) and the knock sensor, then go to step 14 .
- Replace the knock sensor (see «KNOCK SENSOR REPLACEMENT»(ref-355245-S41759766062010012100000) ).
- Reconnect all connectors.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
- Reset the ECM/PCM with the HDS.
- Do the ECM/PCM idle learn procedure (see «ECM/PCM IDLE LEARN PROCEDURE»(ref-290807-S02808252682008072200000) ).
- Hold the engine speed between 3,000-4,000 rpm for at least 10 seconds.
- Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS. Is DTC P0325 indicated? YES -Go to step 21 . NO -Go to step 20.
- Monitor the OBD STATUS for DTC P0325 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS. Does the screen indicate PASSED? YES -Troubleshooting is complete. If any other Temporary DTCs or DTCs were indicated in step 19 , go to the indicated DTCs troubleshooting. NO -If the screen indicates FAILED, check for poor connections or loose terminals at the knock sensor and the ECM/PCM, then go to step 1 . If the screen indicates NOT COMPLETED, go to step 18 .
- Update the ECM/PCM if it does not have the latest software (see «ECM/PCM UPDATE»(ref-355245-S27182940282010012100000) ), or substitute a known-good ECM/PCM (see «SUBSTITUTING THE ECM/PCM»(ref-290833-S34742010492008072200000) ).
- Hold the engine speed between 3,000-4,000 rpm for at least 10 seconds.
- Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS. Is DTC P0325 indicated? YES -Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the knock sensor and the ECM/PCM. If the ECM/PCM was updated, substitute a known-good ECM/PCM (see «SUBSTITUTING THE ECM/PCM»(ref-290833-S34742010492008072200000) ), then go to step 22 . If the ECM/PCM was substituted, go to step 1 . NO -Go to step 24.
- Monitor the OBD STATUS for DTC P0325 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS. Does the screen indicate PASSED? YES -If the ECM/PCM was updated, troubleshooting is complete. If the ECM/PCM was substituted, replace the original ECM/PCM (see «ECM/PCM REPLACEMENT»(ref-355245-S09328189752010012100000) ). If any other Temporary DTCs or DTCs were indicated in step 23 , go to the indicated DTCs troubleshooting. NO -If the screen indicates FAILED, check for poor connections or loose terminals at the knock sensor and the ECM/PCM. If the ECM/PCM was updated, substitute a known-good ECM/PCM (see «SUBSTITUTING THE ECM/PCM»(ref-290833-S34742010492008072200000) ), then go to step 22 . If the ECM/PCM was substituted, go to step 1 . If the screen indicates NOT COMPLETED, go to step 22 .
