Thank you!!

cmon matt i need them avalanche videos i truly find the useful to fix up my own z71 05 avalanche

[@Discretesignals]

If the knock sensor isn't putting out a normal engine noise waveform as the engine is running the PCM sets those codes on that model. Knock sensors generate AC voltage depending on how much noise they pick up. Testing a knock sensor output with an ohm meter is inconclusive at times. You really should use a lab scope to not only see if it generates a signal, but also if the signal's amplitude is high enough. I've run into new OEM and aftermarket sensors that are defects that don't put out enough amplitude. If you're a DIY it probably doesn't matter much, but as a tech you want to fix it right the first time.

[@MattsShop]

You are right. Most people don't have an oscilloscpe to check the waveform. If they are reading really low or high ohms generally there is a problem.

Checking it out man

[@1luxuryliner440]

See ya on the next one man I m follow ING man

Laterrrrrr!

I commented your other video about my CEL goes on and off with knock sensor codes.. I did the multimeter test to wire harness and both sensors read great. So you’re saying they can still read good but actually be bad? Installed them Oct. 2023

[@MattsShop]

The only true way to see if they are bad or not is to replace them and test them, but they can read good and still be intermittent.

Bro I got this code P0332 from a lifter tick. I fixed the lifter tick but the code is still there. What you think! P0332 only. Not P0327.

Hello all. I have some questions. I have a 2004 avalanche 1500 4wd. Recently I start driving and after 5 minutes the security light turns on. Voltage drops completely and ac stops blowing cold. Also my key fob stops working. Then after awhile all the gauges drop to zero then some work and voltage goes up then down. This happens sometimes sometimes while just turning it on. And for the life of me I cannot find that little ground wire behind motor. Can you help please a s
