Default Re: Knock Sensor; What happens if its disconnected

Lee,

The DRM cal I looked at does not negate knock retard. Its just as I described from the FSM. I would expect a Code 43 to be set in your case but I can't explain why it hasn't. Without that, I would say the ECM is not modifying timing. Hook it back up, put in a fresh clutch and let's see what happens. Who knows, maybe the clutch was slipping.

Completely different animal. The LT5's engine protection is the SES, which limits your secondary operation.

Buick it has to cut timing, as that is it's only protection.





Ah the Buick site..... Home of the Federal ZR-1 program.... According to Whitey, Come on Jeff you didnt know that????

The ECM does check this circuit periodically by advancing timing to trigger spark knock and checks to see if the sensor detects it. I had a bad pigtail connector and was getting a code 43 about every other drive. Replaced pigtail with OE AC Delco part from Advance Auto Parts and no more codes.
