Knock sensors, checking

Notes:

To functionally check knock sensors Repair
Group 01, Read measuring value block, display
group 015 and/or 016.

Component locations page 28
-1 .

Knock sensors can not be checked electrically,
check DTC memory page 01
-13
.

Use connector insertion tool 3247 for knock
sensor removing and installing.
It is important that exact knock sensor
tightening torque of 20 Nm (15 ft lb) be
maintained to make sure that there is proper
knock sensor function.
Visually check the knock sensor connector for
corrosion.
When repairing or replacing knock sensor
connector terminals, ONLY replace with gold
plated terminals.

- Disconnect knock sensor harness connectors in
engine compartment.

If there is a short circuit: - Check all three terminals in knock sensor harness connector for
shorting to each other.
Wires must not be short circuited to each other
- Replace knock sensor.

Checking wiring between knock sensor and
ECM

- Connect VAG 1598/19 test box to ECM harness
connector page 01

.

- Check wiring for continuity or short between
knock sensor and ECM using wiring diagram.

Terminal assignments (inside connector)
Knock Sensor (KS) 1 -G61- 1 - Ground (GND) wire
