Internal Control Module Knock Combustion Vibration Sensor Processor 2 Performance

An internal self-test in the control module reports a fault in its processing of the "knock sensor processing, channel 2" value. The module computes and cross-checks this value redundantly inside its own processor; when the results disagree, the code sets. It points to a hardware or software fault inside the module itself, not to a defect of the external sensor. Causes are an internal processor or memory fault, corrupted control-module software, or low or disturbed module supply voltage.

How to read OBD-II codes

The first letter names the vehicle system, the second digit distinguishes generic from manufacturer-specific, the remaining digits group fault area and number.

PPowertrain: engine, transmission, emissions
BBody: chassis trim, comfort, interior
CChassis: suspension, brakes, steering
UNetwork: CAN, control modules, communication
