  • If the monitor item condition/specification (reference) is not within the specification, even though there is no malfunction, perform the "Circuit Open/Short Inspection".

  KS resistance
  532-588 kilohms [20 °C {68 °F}]

## Circuit Open/Short Inspection

1. Remove the PCM connector cover.

2. Disconnect the PCM connector. (See INTAKE-AIR SYSTEM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [ZJ, Z6].)

3. Inspect the following wiring harness for open or short circuit (continuity check).

### Open circuit

  • If there is no continuity, there is an open circuit. Repair or replace the wiring harness.
  - Knock sensor terminal A and PCM terminal 2BA

### Short circuit
