Code No. P0327: Detonation Sensor Circuit Low Input
 
 
 
 
OPERATION
  • The sensor signal is input to the engine-ECU connector terminal K/S from the detonation sensor.
  • The power voltage is earthed to the engine-ECU connector terminal K/SE from the detonation sensor.
 
 
FUNCTION
  • The detonation sensor detects the vibration of the cylinder block caused by detonation waves, and inputs a signal to the engine-ECU.
  • In response to the signal, the engine-ECU provides controls to retard the ignition timing when the detonation occurs.
 
 
TROUBLE JUDGEMENT
Check Condition
  • More than 2 seconds have passed since the engine starting sequence was completed.
Judgement Criterion
  • Detonation sensor output voltage is less than 0.5 V for 2 seconds.
 
 
FAIL-SAFE AND BACKUP FUNCTION
  • Fix the ignition timing with an allowance against detonation.
  • Torque is restricted.
 
 
PROBABLE CAUSES
  • Failed detonation sensor
  • Open/short circuit or harness damage in detonation sensor circuit or loose connector contact
  • Failed engine-ECU
 
 
DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE
STEP 1. Check of open circuit, and damage in K/SE line between detonation sensor connector and engine-ECU connector.
Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 2.
Repair the connector(s) or wiring harness.
 
STEP 2. Check of open circuit, short circuit, and damage in K/S line between detonation sensor and engine-ECU connector.
Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 3.
Repair the connector(s) or wiring harness.
 
STEP 3. M.U.T.-IIISE diagnosis code
  • Reconfirmation of diagnosis code.
Is the diagnosis code set?
Go to Step 4.
Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions ).
 
STEP 4. Replace the detonation sensor
  • After replacing the detonation sensor, reconfirm whether the diagnosis code is set.
Is the diagnosis code set?
Replace the engine-ECU.
Check end.
