DTC

P0327

Knock Sensor 1 Circuit Low Input (Bank 1 or Single Sensor)

DTC

P0328

Knock Sensor 1 Circuit High Input (Bank 1 or Single Sensor)

DTC

P0332

Knock Sensor 2 Circuit Low Input (Bank 2)

DTC

P0333

Knock Sensor 2 Circuit High Input (Bank 2)

DESCRIPTION

Flat type knock sensors (non-resonant type) have structures that can detect vibrations between approximately 6 kHz and 15 kHz.

A knock sensor is fitted onto the engine block to detect engine knocking.

The knock sensor contains a piezoelectric element which generates a voltage when it becomes deformed.

The voltage is generated when the engine block vibrates due to knocking. Any occurrence of engine knocking can be suppressed by delaying the ignition timing.

DTC No.

DTC Detection Condition

Trouble Area

P0327

P0332

Output voltage of knock sensor less than 0.5 V

(1 trip detection logic)

  • Short in knock sensor circuit
  • Knock sensor
  • ECM

P0328

P0333

Output voltage of knock sensor more than 4.5 V

(1 trip detection logic)

  • Open in knock sensor circuit
  • Knock sensor
  • ECM

HINT:

When any of DTCs P0327, P0328, P0332 and P0333 are stored, the ECM enters fail-safe mode. During fail-safe mode, the ignition timing is delayed to its maximum retardation. Fail-safe mode continues until the ignition switch is turned off.

Reference: Inspection using an oscilloscope



The correct waveform is as shown.

Condition

Keep engine speed at 4000 rpm with warm engine

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

If the output voltage transmitted by the knock sensor remains low or high for more than 1 second, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction in the sensor circuit, and stores a DTC.

The monitor for DTCs P0327, P0328, P0332 and P0333 begins to run when 5 seconds have elapsed since the engine was started.

If the malfunction is not repaired successfully, DTC P0327, P0328, P0332 or P0333 is stored 5 seconds after the engine is next started.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT:

  • DTCs P0327 and P0328 are the bank 1 knock sensor circuit.
  • DTCs P0332 and P0333 are the bank 2 knock sensor circuit.
  • Read freeze frame data using the Techstream. Freeze frame data records the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.

PROCEDURE

1.

READ OUTPUT DTC (CHECK KNOCK SENSOR CIRCUIT)



(a) Disconnect the ED2 connector.

(b) Using lead wires, connect the connectors as follows:

Male Connector - Female Connector

Terminal 10 - Terminal 4

Terminal 9 - Terminal 5

Terminal 4 - Terminal 10

Terminal 5 - Terminal 9

(c) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(d) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

(e) Turn the Techstream ON.

(f) Clear DTCs 2UZ-FE ENGINE CONTROL: SFI SYSTEM: DTC CHECK / CLEAR (2008 Sequoia) .

(g) Warm up the engine.

(h) Run the engine at 3000 rpm for 10 seconds or more.

(i) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes.

(j) Read the DTCs.

Result

Result

Proceed to

DTC is same as when vehicle brought in (for example, P0327 and P0328 are output again, or P0332 and P0333 are output again)

A

DTC is different from when vehicle brought in (for example, P0327 and P0328 are output at first, but then P0332 and P0333 are output, or vice versa)

B

HINT:

  • If DTC P0327 or P0328 has changed to P0332 or P0333, check the knock sensor circuit on the left bank side.
  • If DTC P0332 or P0333 has changed to P0327 or P0328, check the knock sensor circuit on the right bank side.
