OBD-II Trouble Code Description for P0332 Dodge
Knock Sensor 2 Circuit Low
What does this mean?
OBD2 Code P0332 Dodge definition:
A knock sensor tells the engine computer when one or more of your engine’s cylinders are “knocking”, that is, exploding the air/fuel mixture in a way that delivers less power and can be damaging to the engine if prolonged. The computer uses this information to tune the engine so that it doesn’t knock. If your knock sensor on Bank #2 is generating a low output voltage (perhaps under 0.5V), then it will trigger a P0332 Dodge DTC. This P0332 Dodge code may show up intermittently or the Service Engine light may be lit constantly. Other knock sensor related DTC codes include P0325 Dodge, P0326 Dodge, P0327 Dodge, P0328 Dodge, P0329 Dodge, P0330 Dodge, P0331 Dodge, P0333 Dodge, and P0334 Dodge.
