A trouble code P0332: Knock Sensor No. 2 Circuit Problem lets you know that the rear knock sensor (located nearest to the engine compartment firewall) is not functioning properly. To be a bit more specific, this code tells you that the PCM is receiving an AC voltage signal from the knock sensor that is too low or too high.

What causes a p0332 knock sensor to fail?

Potential causes for a P0332 DTC include (but are not limited to): 1 The knock sensor is faulty and needs to be replaced. 2 There is a wiring open/short/fault in the knock sensor circuit. 3 The PCM/ECM has failed.

What does trouble code p0332 mean on a Chevy Silverado?

Troubleshooting and solving a trouble code P0332 usually involves replacing the rear knock sensor.

Checking for intake manifold leaks.
