Nissan Maxima Service and Repair Manual: P0327, P0328, P0332, P0333 KS
Description
The knock sensor is attached to the cylinder block. It senses engine knocking using a piezoelectric element. A knocking vibration from the cylinder block is sensed as vibrational pressure. This pressure is converted into a voltage signal and sent to the ECM.

DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE
1.PRECONDITIONING
If DTC Confirmation Procedure has been previously conducted, always perform the following before conducting the next test.
- Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
- Turn ignition switch ON.
- Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
TESTING CONDITION: Before performing the following procedure, confirm that battery voltage is more than 10 V at idle.
2.PERFORM DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE
- Start engine and run it for at least 5 seconds at idle speed.
- Check 1st trip DTC.
Diagnosis Procedure
1.CHECK GROUND CONNECTION
- Turn ignition switch OFF.
- Check ground connection E9.
2.CHECK KNOCK SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT FOR OPEN AND SHORT
- Disconnect knock sensor harness connector and ECM harness connector.
- Check the continuity between knock sensor harness connector and ECM harness connector
- Also check harness for short to ground and short to power.
3.DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART
Check the following.
- Harness connectors F69, F201
- Harness for open or short between knock sensor and ECM
4.CHECK KNOCK SENSOR INPUT SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR OPEN AND SHORT
- Check the continuity between knock sensor harness connector and ECM harness connector.
- Also check harness for short to ground and short to power
5.DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART
Check the following.
- Harness connectors F69, F201
- Harness for open or short between knock sensor and ECM
6.CHECK KNOCK SENSOR
7.CHECK INTERMITTENT INCIDENT
Component Inspection
1.CHECK KNOCK SENSOR
- Turn ignition switch OFF.
- Disconnect knock sensor harness connector.
- Check resistance between knock sensor terminal as per the following. NOTE: It is necessary to use an ohmmeter which can measure more than 10 MΩ.
CAUTION: Never use any knock sensors that have been dropped or physically damaged. Use only new ones.

When a misfire occurs, engine speed will fluctuate. If the engine speed
fluctuates enough to cause the crankshaft
position (CKP) sensor (POS) signal to vary, ECM ca ...
P0335 CKP sensor (POS)
Description
The crankshaft position sensor (POS) is located on the oil pan facing
the gear teeth (cogs) of the signal plate. It detects the fluctuation of
the engine revolution.
The sensor ...

ICC system operation
The ICC system maintains a selected distance
from the vehicle in front of you within the speed
range 0 to 90 mph (0 to 144km/h) up to the set
speed. The set speed can be selected by the
driver between 20 to 90 mph (32 to 144 km/h),
based on road conditions.
The vehicle travels at the set ...
P0116 ECT sensor
Description
The engine coolant temperature sensor is used to detect the engine
coolant temperature. The sensor modifies a voltage signal from the
ECM. The modified signal returns to the ECM as the engine coolant
temperature input. The sensor uses a thermistor which is sensitive to
the c ...
