Engine Management System
Knock Sensors
KNOCK SENSORS
The ECM uses active knock control, which serves to
prevent engine damaging pre-ignition or detonation
under all operating conditions, enabling the engine to
operate without additional safety margins.
The ECM uses 4 piezo-ceramic knock sensors to determine
the point at which a cylinder is pre-detonating. Two sensors
are mounted on the intake side of each cylinder head.
Each sensor monitors engine knock by converting the
engine block noise into a suitable electrical signal, which
is then transmitted back to the ECM via a twisted-pair
cable. The signal is processed within the ECM to iden-
tify the data that characterizes knocking.
This information is compared to known signal profiles to
determine whether pre-ignition is present. If so, the
closed loop control system retards the ignition on that
cylinder for a number of cycles, after which it gradually
moves back towards its original setting.
Safety Precautions CAUTION: Terminals in sensor and connec-
tor are gold plated for corrosion/temperature
resistance. Do not probe connections.
NOTE:
Accurate orientation of the knock sensors on the
cylinder block is required to ensure correct connection to
the vehicle wiring harness.
Failure Modes
• Sensor open circuit
• Short circuit to vehicle ground or battery voltage
• Faulty component or incorrectly torqued / coming loose
• Noise on vehicle 12V supply could look like knock signal causing knock fault
• Min fault usually due to open circuit
• Max fault short circuit to battery voltage or extreme mechanical engine noise/piston slap
• ECM calculates the default value if one sensor fails on each bank of cylinders
Failure Symptoms
• Knock control is disabled and a default ‘safe ignition map’ is used
• Possible rough running and reduced engine perfor- mance
Failure Mode Behaviors
• The vehicle control system constantly checks open circuit of knock sensor. Therefore, the knock sensor
is connected to the power source via pull-up line of
the ECM.
• When short/open circuit occurs to the knock sensor signal circuit, the system detects it, sets failure flag,
and commences maximum retard control on spark
advance.
• As far as the behavior of knock sensor is concerned, however, the above-mentioned failure modes cannot
cause serious outcomes such as heat generation,
smoke emission and/or fire hazard.

Crankcase Ventilation System Engine Management System
CRANKCASE VENTILATION SYSTEM
During a normal compression stroke, small amounts of
gases in the combustion chamber escape past the piston.
Approximately 70% of these gases are unburned fuel
(Hydrocarbons).
The purpose of a Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV)
system is to prevent crankcase pressure build-up, protect
engine seals, and remove harmful gases from the crank-
case and combine them with the engine’s normal incom-
ing air/fuel charge. The crankcase is ventilated through part-load and full-
load breathers and oil separators, which consist of a vari-
able geometry oil separator, pressure control valves, and
oil drain valve. This sophisticated system reduces oil
pullover by over half.
The integrated twin PCV valves prevent the hose from
icing and improve driveability in cold climates. The full
load breather hose purges the crankcase and reduces
condensation when the engine is cold.
