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