7.3 Detection Example 
Knock sensor detection 
(1) 
Detect knock sensor resistance 
Turn off the ignition switch, disconnect the knock sensor wire connector, and use 
"resistance measurement  " to detect the resistance between the knock 
sensor  wire  terminal  and  the  housing.  The  resistance  should  be  ∞  (non-
conducting).  If  the  resistance  is  0Ω  (conducting),  the  knock  sensor  must  be 
replaced.  For  the  magnetostrictive  knock  sensor,  "resistance  measurement
 
" can also be used to detect the coil resistance. The resistance should 
meet  the  specified  value  (for  the  specific  data,  see  the  service  manual). 
Otherwise, the knock sensor must be replaced. 
(2) 
Check knock sensor output signal 
Remove the knock sensor plug. Use "voltage test" to check the voltage between 
the knock  sensor  wire terminal and ground when  the  engine  is  idling. There 
should be a pulse voltage output. If not, the knock sensor must be replaced. 
Coolant temperature sensor detection 
(1) 
Detect coolant temperature sensor resistance 
Check  on  the  vehicle:  Turn  off  the  ignition  switch,  disconnect  the  coolant 
temperature sensor wire connector, and use "resistance measurement  " 
to test the resistance between the two terminals of the sensor. Its resistance 
value  is  inversely  proportional  to  the  temperature  (negative  temperature 
coefficient) and should be less than 1kΩ during warm-up. 
Single piece check: disconnect the coolant temperature sensor wire connector, 
remove the sensor from the engine, place the sensor into the water in the beaker, 
heat the water in the beaker, and use "resistance measurement  " to test 
the resistance between the two terminals  of  the sensor under  different water
