Knock Sensor 1 Circuit Low
What does this mean?
OBD2 Code P0327 Opel 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 Opel DTC. This P0327 Opel code may show up intermittently or the Service Engine light may be lit constantly. Other knock sensor related DTC codes include P0325 Opel, P0326 Opel, P0328 Opel, P0329 Opel, P0330 Opel, P0331 Opel, P0332 Opel, P0333 Opel, and P0334 Opel.
