HINT:
When DTC P032515 is 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.
DTC No. | Detection Item | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area | MIL | Note |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
P032515 | Knock Sensor 1 Bank 1 or Single Sensor Circuit Short to Battery or Open | The knock control sensor output voltage is higher than 4.5 V for 1 second or more (1 trip detection logic). |
| Comes on | SAE: P0328 |
Reference: Inspection using an oscilloscope.

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

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
HINT:
Read Freeze Frame Data using the GTS. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as Freeze Frame Data the moment a DTC is stored. 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. | CHECK TERMINAL VOLTAGE (POWER SOURCE OF KNOCK CONTROL SENSOR) |
(a) Disconnect the knock control sensor connector.
(b) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
(c) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below. Standard Voltage:
|
|
NG | GO TO STEP 3 |
|
2. | INSPECT KNOCK CONTROL SENSOR |

HINT:
Perform "Inspection After Repair" after replacing the knock control sensor.

OK | GO TO STEP 4 |
NG | REPLACE KNOCK CONTROL SENSOR |
3. | CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (KNOCK CONTROL SENSOR - ECM) |
(a) Disconnect the knock control sensor connector.
(b) Disconnect the ECM connector.
(c) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance:
Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
---|---|---|
e1-2(KNK1) - D104-111(KNK1) | Always | Below 1 Ω |
e1-1(EKNK) - D104-112(EKNK) | Always | Below 1 Ω |
e1-2(KNK1) or D104-111(KNK1) - Other terminals | Always | 10 kΩ or higher |
NG | REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR |
|
4. | CLEAR DTC |
(a) Clear the DTCs.
Powertrain > Engine > Clear DTCs(b) Turn the ignition switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
|
5. | CHECK WHETHER DTC OUTPUT RECURS (DTC P032515) |
(a) Drive the vehicle in accordance with the driving pattern described in Confirmation Driving Pattern.
(b) Read the DTCs.
Powertrain > Engine > Trouble Codes Result | Proceed to |

DTCs are not output | A |
P032515 is output | B |
A | CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS |
B | REPLACE ECM |
WARNING
When removing the fuel-filler cap, loosen the cap slightly and wait for any hissing to stop, then remove it
Fuel spray is dangerous. Fuel can burn skin and eyes and cause illness if ingested. Fuel spray is released when there is pressure in the fuel tank and the fuel-filler cap is removed too quickly.
