dg5: Check KS Circuit for Short to Voltage
| Steps | _Key Off, wait 10 seconds
_Disconnect 60 pin connector. Inspect for damaged pins, corrosion, loose wires, etc. Service as necessary. _Breakout box installed _Processor disconnected _Knock sensor disconnected _Key On, engine Off _DVOM on 20 volt scale _Measure voltage between Test Pin 23 and Test Pin 40 at the breakout box |
| Result | Is voltage less than .5 volts? |
| Direction | YES
Remove breakout box. Reconnect processor. GO to Continue NO Remove breakout box. Reconnect processor and knock sensor. Service open circuit. Rerun Quick Test. |
| Component | Knock Sensor |
| Description | The
Knock Sensor is a piezoelectric accelerometer with the sensor designed
to resonate at approximately the same frequency as engine knock. The
sensor uses resonant frequency to mechanically amplify the vibrations.
This method allows relatively large signals to be achieved without
electrical amplification and with small package size. The sensor has a
thin circular piezoelectric ceramic disk which is bonded to a metal
diaphragm.
Electrical connections are made through a two pin integral connector. |
