Signal Too High - Permanent Fault
Signal too high. Permanent fault
Checking components and wiring
Check the signal cable between knock sensor (KS) terminal #1 and control module terminal #A46 (#A46). Check the ground lead between knock sensor (KS) terminal #2 and control module terminal #A64 (#B4). 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.
