  • Come along with Eric O. at the SMA shop as he has a look at the infamous GM knock sensors on this 2003 Chevy 1500 with the 4.8. This is a very common problem on many GM trucks and in this video we show you how to diagnose the codes DTC P0327: KNOCK SENSOR CIRCUIT - LOW VOLTAGE - SENSOR 1 & DTC P0332: KNOCK SENSOR CIRCUIT - LOW VOLTAGE - SENSOR 2 using a simple lab scope and some simple testing methods.
    Description:
    The Knock Sensor (KS) system enables the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) to control the ignition timing for the best possible performance while protecting the engine from potentially damaging levels of detonation. The system uses 2 KS located under the intake manifold. KS 1 is located at the front of the engine. KS 2 is located at the back of the engine. Each KS produces and AC voltage that varies depending on the vibration level during engine operation. The PCM adjusts the spark timing based on the amplitude and frequency of the KS signal. The PCM used each KS signal to calculated an average voltage range value. If the KS system is operating normally, the PCM should monitor the KS voltage varying above and below the voltage range. If the PCM detects the KS signal voltage within the voltage range, or the KS signal is not present, a DTC will set. DTC P0327 refers to the front KS. DTC P0332 refers to the rear KS.

    Thank you for that video. I've got a Knock Sensor fail on a GM Astra, and seeing you check the input has given me the energy to finally get my PC-Based scope installed on my laptop and prove the fault.
    I'm starting out as a full time workshop since April, so my kit is not as advanced as yours (although electronics is my passion, and Im already a "very very very advanced" DIY'er), but I did get around to setting up my Hantek computer scope, and diagnosed an identical problem with a 2003 Opel Astra.
    My background is in Aerospace system design for Rolls-Royce, but I have had to leave full time work due to illness so I've ended up setting up a small engineering shop in Madeira, Portugal (almost by accident|!)
    My approach to diagnostics is similar to yours - "Prove the root cause then change the right part" - this approach is serving me well - I'm already inundated with work - I get all the weird problems - the stuff other garages hand off (weird diagnostics problems etc) , or won't take on ( complex oddities like Rolls-Royces and Land Rovers ). My favourite is cars that have had the "Parts Shotgun" and still aren't fixed!. It's really keeping me entertained!
    Funny thing happened the other day - a guy arrived at the workshop with his new purchase - a very nice clean '02 Land Rover Discovery 2 V8.
    These are very rare here - in fact, this is the only other V8 Land rover I know on the island! (Mine is the other one!)
    He was very proud, and asked me to have a look at his new purchase (This is common, many garages (myself included) will give an "assessment" for free - usually the customer goes to the cheapest, and end up getting raped by a garage that doesn't fully understand the work)
    Like you, I tell it like it is, and if they go elsewhere, then that's fine by me - I pride myself by being honest and fair, even if the customer isn't.
    I immediately recognised that it was missing on at least 2 cylinders, and popped the bonnet to check it out.
    Found 2 ignition leads adrift and not on the spark plug, and one completely failed! I plugged them back in and temporarily patched the third so it's running on 8 cylinders now.
    I complimented him on finding such a clean example, and we had a chat about the car (I have an identical diesel variant of the same car also)
    The customer went from "can you have a quick look at it and give me a quote" to " When can you take it in and sort it all out for me?".....
    I'm taking the car in when he goes back to the mainland in 2 weeks!!! RESULT - I will have a decent amount of time to work on the car and wait for parts.
    Keep up the good work - I enjoy your honest and realistic diagnostics and also picking up tips - I've just bought a "big nasty" of my own!!
    And I'm looking into the various diagnostics options available here.
    I'm sorted for a few manufacturers (VW Group, Land Rover, Mercedes) but as I do more diagnostics work, I could do with the easy access to circuit diagrams etc...
    Loving the RUclips channel - If you fancy a trip to Madeira (Portugal), let me know - If you like classic cars - aim for the last weekend in May!
    Obrigado!!!
    Mike.
    P.S. Extra credit for saying "Aluminium" and not "Aluminum"!!!

    You may not be an 'Piezoelectric' expert but you sure do have a great understanding of electrical circuits, troubleshooting the use of meters and general electrical theory / concepts. I have been in the electrical construction, service and maintenance industry for over 30 years and few of my coworkers could do what you do. The use of data between modules as I see in your videos is a common practice in fire alarm systems and building automation systems. You would do very well servicing either, Better than many electricians I work with. I guess the big diffrance is you seem like you want to know how it works, many I work with could not be bothered to learn new things. Thanks for the videos, I wish your shop was closer to me. I would love to bring you my 3 valve 5.4 Ford to look at.

    For our reference Eric, Piezoelectric devices are used to measure pressures by the generation of voltage. Piezoelectric sensors are constructed from alumina ceramics, metallized quartz, single crystals, or ultrasonic transducer materials that make up a bi-directional transducer capable of converting stress into an electric potential. Th e piezoelectric materials consist of polarized ions within the crystal. As pressure is applied on the piezoelectric material some mechanical deformation occurs in the polarized crystal, which produces a proportional output charge due to the displacement in the ions. Uses of this type of sensor in the automotive industry include piezoelectric accelerometers, piezoelectric force sensors, and piezoelectric pressure sensors.

    Eric you're the man. Not 100% related to this video, but I just helped a neighbor diagnose a bad wheel sensor on his caddy CTS. we hooked up my crappy old matco scope and spun the hub. one side made a nice waveform but very low, other side amplitude was 3 times as high.
    I think you showed this or something similar in an ABS video a while back, comparing signals side-to-side.. just wanted to say thanks for getting me on the right track.

    Vitamin C, gobs of it, and jalapeno peppers for the stuffy nose. I always learn something when I watch your videos. Today I learned how to use the scope to watch the knock sensors signal. What I'm wondering is how the two wires made a duel trace? Was there a 3rd wire I didn't see? I'll watch it again, maybe I missed something.

Funny how the price changes depending on where you get it from. The Chevy dealership wanted $99 each. The local AutoZone parts store could get them in a day for $72 each. Then I just happened to take a chance and ran the part number through the WalMart website and lo and behold.....$35 each, shipped to the local store for free in two days. All prices were for AC Delco OEM parts. WalMart even showed the wiring harness from the sensors to the connector on the top of the engine was available for $42. Gotta love competition.

  • @kenman1717
    @kenman1717 7 лет назад +1

    great video on how to test them. but to be honest the part of Canada I'm in these sensors get so bad, especially the rear one the its just been a common practice that if its setting codes for them, the intake comes off, because 99% of the time that rear one is so rotten with rust and corrosion its disintegrated to nothing, and most of the time it won't even come out. and out of all that I have done at least every 8 out of 10 the valley cover has to be replaced also along with the seals. the rear hole is usually so rotten the cover can't be salvaged. The local auto wrecker was getting to know me pretty well for a while, in the course of a month I think I was there 6 times, and got all the good valley covers they had. I actually got lucky on one trip. the sensors and harness had just been done to that engine as well as the silicone dams, so everything was brand new and came apart nice, so I got and extra harness and 2 sensors from that one.

    I did mine 3 years back and the dorman wiring harness seems to have worked ok. I did as the service bulletin said , was to put a bead of silicone in front of the sensor to deflect any water from pooling around the rubber plug. Not sure if that even does anything but hey . LOL

    Here is a good tip n trick I would like to share. 1) Grab the closest shop rag (dirty or clean) and rip it down the center evenly 2) Roll each piece into an ice cream cone shape 3) With a slight twisting motion place one cone bottom end into each nostril 4)Repeat as necessary.

    Just got finished changing out both of mine. Used the TSB. #2 was a corroded mess submerged in water.
    Chevrolet 2004 Silverado 2500 6.0. Used GM OEM parts only. Sensor and harness and new manifold gaskets.
    Could GM have put these in a more difficult place to get at and then build it to funnel water in a 2" deep hole to hold the water and then make it to where you have to take the top end off? I don't think so.

    Replaced the engine on a 2005 Tahoe. The incoming engine had its own knock sensors. After install I had code for low voltage knock sensor 1. Replaced both sensors and harness. It now says low voltage knock sensor 2…….
    Did resistance and continuity checks on both sensors and harness. All ok. Decided to replace sensor two with different brand just in case but same result. Low voltage sensor 2. Swapped sensor 1 with sensor two. Problem remains. Low voltage sensor 2. Any suggestions???

And today as I was hitting the gas on the highway to pass another vehicle I got a low voltage code for bank 1 knock sensor. Code PO327

    Hope you're feelin' better by now Eric. I've got pretty bad allergies, so my nose is pretty much packed solid constantly ... but then when I get a cold it feels like I'm suffocating. Sucks! Know the feeling. No calling in sick when you're the owner!
    I'm going to have to check out my Silverado, and see if my AC setting on my meter will read differently on those - I saw the Verus has an RMS AC setting - my meter doesn't. Just regular AC. Probably means mine would read higher? What I would expect, anyway.
    Yeah gotta love GM. Screw us on the purchase, screw us on warranty, screw the techs that make them money (making them work for FREE- that's called slavery!!!), and then screw us on parts! To pay us back for our loyalty, they build their parts EVERYWHERE but in America, AND build their vehicles in the cheapest, lowest-quality way possible! WTF! Wish some company would just rip off all their service data and post it on the net free - programming and everything. They deserve that, IMO.
    PS> My grandpa always kept a little blackberry brandy under the sink for when he caught a cold. My choice is a little Jim Beam - does the job a little quicker. Better than Sudafed. :D

      In all seriousness, mixing pills (especially narcotics) with booze kills your liver 100x faster than just booze alone. I've lived long enough to see it happen to people I know. It never ends well. Not a good habit to form, for sure. I've seen a couple people barely make 30 years old before their livers checked out, from doing that for years.

      Hello Eric
      I have a 2008 Ford Focus Sedan (2.0L Duractec , 4spd auto)
      It has just manual air/heater controls. And speed 1,2 4 work fine.
      But number 3 basically is the same speed as #2. i doesn't get faster on # 3. But it will get faster on 4.
      I replaced the Blower Motor Resistor with a OEM FORD Part and it made no difference.
      Any ideas what the solution to that is?

    • @robbiesantos7677
      @robbiesantos7677 6 лет назад

      lightningsmokerXx maybe your switch is bad. Usually if a resistor goes bad no setting works except for the highest speed
