OBD-II Trouble Code Description for P0327 Mercedes
Knock Sensor 1 Circuit Low
What does this mean?
OBD2 Code P0327 Mercedes 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 #1 is generating a low output voltage (perhaps under 0.5V), then it will trigger a P0327 Mercedes DTC. This P0327 Mercedes code may show up intermittently or the Service Engine light may be lit constantly. Other knock sensor related DTC codes include P0325 Mercedes, P0326 Mercedes, P0328 Mercedes, P0329 Mercedes, P0330 Mercedes, P0331 Mercedes, P0332 Mercedes, P0333 Mercedes, and P0334 Mercedes.
