OBD-II Trouble Code Description for P0332 Toyota

Knock Sensor 2 Circuit Low

What does this mean?

OBD2 Code P0332 Toyota 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 Toyota DTC. This P0332 Toyota code may show up intermittently or the Service Engine light may be lit constantly. Other knock sensor related DTC codes include P0325 Toyota, P0326 Toyota, P0327 Toyota, P0328 Toyota, P0329 Toyota, P0330 Toyota, P0331 Toyota, P0333 Toyota, and P0334 Toyota.
