is my knock sensor faulty?

Post by smithgrinds »

Hi i was using my S300/p72 ecu with my oem knock sensor(b18c5) okay before, was reading knock and retarding as it should. However, recently it just shows 5Volts that's it? Like when i turn on the key 0volts, but once i start up the car it just goes to 5Volts right away and stays at 5Volts for the entire datalog. Does that mean my knock sensor has failed or did i accidently press something wrong on my parameters/settings?

Yea i'm definitly hearing knock at the 1800-2300rpm 40-60% throttle in 5th, so when it's under load. But my datalog doens't show it nor does it pull timing. So i'm wondering if the knock sensor has just gone bad?

thanks.
