Signal Too High. Permanent Fault
Signal too high. Permanent fault
Checking components and wiring
Check the signal cable between knock sensor (KS) terminal #3 and control module terminal #A45 (#A45). Check the ground lead between knock sensor (KS) terminal #4 and control module #A67 (#B7). Check for a short-circuit to supply voltage.
Check that the knock sensor (KS) is tightened to the correct torque.
Hint: The diagnostic trouble code (DTC) may be caused by a worn engine. Start the engine and listen for noise.
Remedy as necessary.

Hint: After carrying out the repair, check that the fault has been remedied.
- Ignition off.
- Reconnect the connectors, reinstall components etc.
- Start engine and run to normal operating temperature.
- Rev the engine to 3500 rpm and read off the value of the knock sensor (KS) signal..
Is the value between 2-6?
Yes - Verification completed

Fault-tracing information
The fault should have been detected and remedied. As this is not the case fault-tracing has failed.
Exit fault-tracing for this diagnostic trouble code (DTC) or make another attempt.
Do you want to exit fault-tracing?
Yes - Exit Fault-Tracing
No - Attempt New Test
