Update: Check your compressor tensioner pulley, mine was bouncing and tapping just enough to cause bank 2 to throw the code. I thought it was the compressor but found the pulley issue.

I've had both of those codes P0327 and P0332 on a 2004 VW Jetta 2.0L. I replaced both sensors and check engine light would come back on sometimes right when I would turn the car on and sometimes before I would drive the car 1 mile. I unplugged both sensors and I checked the voltage and Sensor 1 said 0.00 Volts. Sensor 2 said 1.85V. So right there I knew I had a short somewhere or a bad ground. I just started unwrapping the engine harness last weekend and followed one of the sensor wiring all the way to the ECU, I kept bending the wires and looking for any cuts or corrosion but didn't see anything. Then I put everything together and when I started my car, the P0332 code was gone. Now I'll be messing with the other knock sensor wiring that goes through the injector harness and hopefully I can fix the other code too. If that doesn't fix the P0327 I'll just do new wiring for that sensor cause it's cleary not getting any power. Hopefully this helps someone that can't figure out where their problem is after replacing both knock sensors and check engine light comes back on.

I've done this job twice now. First with after market cheap knock sensors. Then I paid top dollar for OEM sensors on my 2005 6L GMC. Knock sensor #2 both times within a day. #2 was slightly corroded but I thought I'd cleaned it up nicely at the very beginning of this job. I used a bit of never seize both times. The OEM ones came in a bag from Amazon. Not protected at all. Thought that was weird. I'll be pulling it apart again next week on days off. First round was over 4 hrs. second was under 2 hrs. So this wont be terrible but it's not a job I enjoy. Very frustrating. I will be using a multimeter on these before I pull them. Thank you very much for this video. Super helpful. Any other advice would be greatly appreciated.

[@gybx4094]

This test may not work with certain models of knock sensor. For my 2008 G6, the new sensor and old sensor both measured Open Loop from pin-to-pin and there was a range of mVac from each with the standard knock test. I was concerned after watching this video, but when I put in the new sensor, code P0327 cleared, idling smoothed out, and acceleration improved.

[@dakynglyfejones6963]

What u mean by that sir? I’m a novice so I’m learning

[@Landaux]

Well, I had my check engine light come on and read that code of the knocks sensor… i cleared the code… would repeatedly come back on for a period of a few months… until I put super unleaded in the tank, cleared it again and it hasn’t come back on since for several weeks now 👍😎

[@tommak6516]

"Don't drop them' as you juggle. Bravo, great showmanship. The technical part of your presentation was great too, My Engine Light comes on and I thought it might be the gas cap. So I reseat the gas cap and the light will go away if I drive an hour or so. The light. The light seems like it only comes on every six months or so and then go away. So today when the light came on I went to Autozone to get it checked, and when the guy came out to plug his instrument in the car the check engine light was gone again. But the AutoZone guy plugged in and got historical code of PO327. Since this happens so irregular, does that mean the sensor still works (most times) or could it be a sign of actual knocking, and if so, what would cause the knocking? Bad fuel, plugged fuel filter, ????

[@shanali852]

YOU GUYS HAVE TO BE KIDDING ME!!! I have already replaced these once in my truck. One went bad and then I had to do it AGAIN!!! I understand mistakes or defects happen but here’s the cherry on top. The one I replaced twice went bad AGAIN, and so did the other one I replaced the first time. This is bs I’m beyond pissed rn. Gotta waste another afternoon!!! This was my first time buying from 1AAuto and this is how it went. Unbelievable.

[@nwarren365]

Gotta get Ac Delco sensors buddy

[@RD-uh9te]

Does the PO332 cover anything else other than the knock sensors? I replaced both sensors and harness and am still getting the PO332 code for bank 2. I test and get 99.8k on the rear 102.3k on the front sensor both good and within specs. Then test the sensors for ac voltage on tap and both are working perfectly. Code pops randomly anywhere from 1 to 5 weeks after clearing the code.

[@ajrobbs100]

DONT MAKE THIS MISTAKE!Not all knock sensors work but you tapping near it also depend how many hertz (hz) are required for that sensor to produce a/c voltage.newer cars take 6,000hz meaning 6,000 taps per second.not gonna happen .the right solution is to make car run lean(create a knock ) then check output using a scanner.

I have a 2007 silverado classic 1500 4x2 4.8 L. Both knock sensors and harness have been changed. Using 87 octane fuel. I am still getting the P0332 code. It seems that the code triggers some type of guardian mode on the motor because I lose power. Any recommendations???? Please help.

[@MelaniaSideWigga]

Thanks for the walkthrough. I always appreciate your concise explanations of the issues. I have a 2002 Suburban with this PO332 code & am going to delve into the problem. One thing that you pointed out may help me I/d & perhaps solve this, plus one other issue that I have:. Every 2-3 months, I get a "Low Coolant" indication on the gauge panel. When you showed that the Knock Sensor was corroded, that makes me think that I have a slight leak,. maybe originating at the Intake. Perhaps this will help kill2 birds... And, quite often, I find that an error code is only a symptom of something else, a root problem. It would be a lot more helpful if the OBDII System was designed to find root problems. But, it is what it is. Anyway, a BIG Thanks to you guys, again.

I am working on an 08 F 150, it has a newer Jasper engine. I what I think (pretty sure) is the beginning of a rod knock.

I am seeing 232s and under full power I see between 900 and 1100. I throu/the scanner on another F 150 that ran correctly, I saw 232 at idle and at WOT I saw 1900 to 2100. What kind of numbers should I see if the knock sensors are seeing a knock?

[@20tea]

It's best to replace it soon because the information from the knock sensor feeds the computer information as how to maximize engine combustion efficiency by either advancing or retarding the timing. The part is generally cheap and you should be able to find someone on KZbin that's replaced one on your car make/model. The code may be able to get cleared after installing at the nearest auto parts supply shop.

[@kalatapie]

Yeah but your car is running on borrowed time and the more you delay the fix, the more damage you engine will sustain. Your Engine may blow out afer a few months or after 4 years, it's a gamble. And It isnt a quick blow out either: it slowly accumulates permanent damage, becoming louder and worse performing, before eventually dying completely. If you intend to keep your car for longer than a year I suggest you change it. In any case it' s cheaper than an engine rebuild.
