- 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 (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.
- Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
- Jump the SCS line with the HDS.
- Disconnect the knock sensor 1P connector.
- Disconnect ECM connector A (31P).
- Check for continuity between ECM connector terminal A1 and body ground. Is there continuity? YES -Repair short in the wire between the ECM (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 connector terminal A1 and body ground. Is there continuity? YES -Go to step 13. NO -Repair open in the wire between the ECM (A1) and the knock sensor, then go to step 14 .
- Replace the knock sensor (see «OUTPUT SHAFT (COUNTERSHAFT) SPEED SENSOR REPLACEMENT»(ref-351945-S22230620222009122900000) ).
- Reconnect all connectors.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
- Reset the ECM with the HDS.
- Do the ECM idle learn procedure (see «ECM IDLE LEARN PROCEDURE»(ref-221342-S09897997502006022400000) ).
- 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 DTC's troubleshooting. NO -If the screen indicates FAILED, check for poor connections or loose terminals at the knock sensor and the ECM, then go to step 1 . If the screen indicates NOT COMPLETED, go to step 18 .
- Update the ECM if it does not have the latest software (see «ECM UPDATE»(ref-351945-S31385529132009122900000) ), or substitute a known-good ECM (see «SUBSTITUTING THE ECM»(ref-221338-S28616532062006022400000) ).
- 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. If the ECM was updated, substitute a known-good ECM (see «SUBSTITUTING THE ECM»(ref-221338-S28616532062006022400000) ), then go to step 22 . If the ECM 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 was updated, troubleshooting is complete. If the ECM was substituted, replace the original ECM (see «ECM REPLACEMENT»(ref-351945-S35124653042009122900000) ). If any other Temporary DTCs or DTCs were indicated in step 23, go to the indicated DTC's troubleshooting. NO -If the screen indicates FAILED, check for poor connections or loose terminals at the knock sensor and the ECM. If the ECM was updated, substitute a known-good ECM (see «SUBSTITUTING THE ECM»(ref-221338-S28616532062006022400000) ), then go to step 22 . If the ECM was substituted, go to step 1 . If the screen indicates NOT COMPLETED, go to step 22 .
