What is the P0325 Fault code? What does it signify?
A P0325 code is an indication that there may be a problem with the knock sensor. This code is activated when the primary computer of your vehicle, the ECM/PCM powertrain control module (ECM/PCM), detects an issue with the knock sensor. The code will inform the driver that the engine fault light is on along with the code.
The knock sensor detects vibrations or knocks in the ignition cylinders. One or more knock sensors may exist depending on the vehicle’s make or model. Code P0325 is when the knock signal exceeds the preset parameter values over a period of time. “Bank 1, sensor 1” signifies the knock sensor located on cylinder 1 of the engine.
