Ford P0331 OBD-II Trouble Code Definition:
P0331 Knock Sensor 2 Circuit Range/Performance Bank 2
P0331 Ford OBD-II Trouble CodeDescription:
OBD Trouble Code P0331
Knock Sensor 2 Circuit Range/Performance
What does the code mean? OBD-ii Code P0331 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).
