DTC P0325 Knock Sensor 1 Circuit Malfunction (Bank 1)
DTC P0330 Knock Sensor 2 Circuit Malfunction (Bank 2)
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Each of knock sensor is fitted to the right bank and left bank of the cylinder block to detect engine knocking.
This sensor contains a piezoelectric element which generates a voltage when it becomes deformed, which
occurs when the cylinder block vibrates due to knocking. If engine knocking occurs, ignition timing is retarded
to suppress it.

Read freeze frame data using TOYOTA hand-held tester or OBD II scan tool. Because freeze frame
records the engine conditions when the malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, it is useful for
determining whether the vehicle was running or stopped, the engine was warmed up or not, the air-fuel
ratio was lean or rich, etc. at the time of the malfunction.
1 Connect OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand-held tester, and check knock sensor
circuit.
PREPARATION:
(a) Connect the OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand-held tes-
ter to the DLC3.
(b) Disconnect the wire from wire connector EB1.
(c) Connect the terminals of the disconnected EB1 male con-
nector and EB1 female as follows.
Male connector eFemale connector
Terminal 1 e Terminal 2
Terminal 2 e Terminal 1
(d) Turn the ignition switch ON and push the OBD II scan tool
or TOYOTA hand-held tester main switch ON.
(e) After the engine is warmed up, perform quick racing to
4,000 rpm 3 times.
CHECK:
Check the DTC.
RESULT:
Type IDTC same as when vehicle brought in
P0325 " P0325 or P0330 " P0330
Type IIDTC different to when vehicle brought in
P0325 " P0330 or P0330 " P0325
Reference: INSPECTION USING OSCILLOSCOPE
With the engine racing (4,000 rpm), check the waveform
between terminals KNKR, KNKL of the ECM connector
and body ground.
HINT:
The correct waveform is as shown.
Spread the time on the horizontal axis, and confirm that
period of the wave is 141 msec. (Normal mode vibration
frequency of knock sensor: 7.1 kHz)
HINT:
If normal mode vibration frequency is not 7.1 kHz, the sensor
is malfunctioning.
Type II Go to step 3.

DTC P0335 Crankshaft Position Sensor ºAº Circuit Mal-
function
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Crankshaft position sensor (NE signal) consists of a magnet, iron core and pickup coil.
The NE signal plate has 34 teeth and is installed the crankshaft timing pulley. The NE signal sensor gener-
ates 34 signals at every engine revolution. The ECM detects the standard crankshaft angle based on the
G (VV) signal, and the actual crankshaft angle and the engine speed by the NE signal.

DTC P0340 Camshaft Position Sensor Circuit Malfunc-
tion
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Camshaft position sensor (G (VV) signal) consists of a magnet, iron core and pickup coil.
The G (VV) signal plate has 3 teeth, on its outer circumference and is installed the camshaft timing gear.
When the camshafts rotate, the protrusion on the signal plate and the air gap on the pickup coil change,
causing fluctuations in the magnetic field and generating an electromotive force in the pickup coil.
The NE signal plate has 34 teeth and is installed the crankshaft timing pulley. The NE signal sensor gener-
ates 34 signals at every engine revolution. The ECM detects the standard crankshaft angle based on the
G (VV) signal and the actual crankshaft angle and the engine speed by the NE signal.

DTC P0420 Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold
(Bank 1)
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The ECM observes the waveform of the heated oxygen sensor located behind the catalyst to determine
whether the catalyst performance has deteriorated.
If the catalyst is functioning normally, the waveform of the heated oxygen sensor located behind the catalyst
switches back and forth between rich and lean much more slowly.
When the waveform of the heated oxygen sensor located behind the catalyst alternates flutteringly between
rich and lean, it indicates that catalyst performance has deteriorated.
