Cylinder 11 Above Knock/Combustion Vibration Sensor Threshold
The knock or combustion-vibration sensor monitors the structure-borne noise of each cylinder. The signal level for cylinder 11 has stayed above the diagnostic threshold for an extended period, indicating either persistent knock or an electrical fault that biases the channel high.
Affected components
- Knock sensor
- Knock sensor wiring
- Cylinder 11 combustion
Common causes
- High likelihood: Persistent knocking on cylinder 11
- Medium likelihood: Sensor or wiring biased high
- Low likelihood: Gateway module routing CAN messages incorrectly
