Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Information

ECM-P033200 Knock Sensor 2 Circuit Low Input Signal (Bank 2)


Condition







The engine control module (ECM) uses the signal from the knock sensors to detect combustion knocks in the cylinders. The diagnostic trouble code is generated if the control module detects that the signal from the knock sensor is lower than its normal signal interval for a certain period of time.

The diagnostic trouble code can be diagnosed when the ignition is on.
Knock sensor 2 detects knocking on cylinders 1, 2, 3 and 4.

Substitute Value
- Ignition angle reduction for reasons of safety.
- Knock control blocked.

Possible Source
- The signal cable is short-circuited to ground.
- Damaged knock sensor.

Fault Symptom[s]
- Poor performance.
