Knock/Combustion Vibration Sensor C Circuit Range/Performance
Knock sensor C signal is in electrical range but plausibility check fails — typically a loose mounting, wrong torque, or sensor element drift.
Affected components
- Knock sensor
Common causes
- High likelihood: Sensor loose
- Low likelihood: Gateway module routing CAN messages incorrectly
- Low likelihood: CAN terminating resistor (120 Ω) drifted out of spec
