Signal Too High

Signal too high

Checking the components and wiring
Check the signal cable. Check for a short-circuit to supply voltage.
Take readings between:
- Engine control module (ECM) #A7 (#A7) and knock sensor #1.
Check the ground lead. Check for a short-circuit to supply voltage.
Take readings between:
- The engine control module (ECM) #A55 (#A55) and the knock sensor #2.
Check that the knock sensor (KS) is tightened to the correct torque.

Hint: The diagnostic trouble code (DTC) may be caused by noise from the engine. Start the engine and listen for noise.

Remedy as necessary.
