Knock/Combustion Vibration Sensor C Circuit High
Knock sensor C signal above upper plausibility — open signal or short to B+. Wiring faults of this kind typically come from chafing, water ingress at connector seals, or pin push-back — a wiggle test on the harness while the code is active often confirms the location.
Affected components
- Knock sensor
Common causes
- High likelihood: Open signal line
- Low likelihood: Gateway module routing CAN messages incorrectly
- Low likelihood: CAN terminating resistor (120 Ω) drifted out of spec
Diagnostic notes
