Ford P0329 OBD-II Trouble Code Definition:
P0329 Knock Sensor Circuit Intermittent
P0329 Ford OBD-II Trouble CodeDescription:
OBD Trouble Code P0329
Knock Sensor 1 Circuit Input Intermittent
What does the code mean? OBD-ii Code P0329 definition:
The knock sensor is attached to the cylinder block. It senses engine knocking using a piezoelectric element. A knocking vibration from the cylinder block is sensed as vibrational pressure. This pressure is converted into a voltage signal and sent to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) or Engine Control Module (ECM).
