If You get a P0325 Code, or a Broken Wire on a Knock Sensor....

With any luck, someday someone will do a search and come across this thread and it will help them out.

Short story is I got a check engine light with the code P0325: Knock Sensor Malfunction. I found that a rat(s) had made a nest under the intake manifold and chewed through the wire to the knock sensor.

To get to the wire I followed the below instructions which are for changing the starter motor. The starter is in the same area under the intake manifold.

Once I got to the chewed wire I found that it was chew right at the base. I needed a new plug with a pigtail. Toyota does not sell just a plug and pigtail; you have to buy a complete harness. However, searching the internet I found a part that would work. It was for a 1995 Toyota pick-up. It had the plug I need on one end and another plug at the other end. Toyota Part No. 82219-35010. It can be bought online for under $20.



Its a pretty easy DIY.

 

Yeah, I had the same problem. I used the same web site, and bought the same harness. Problem is the harness. I couldn't find where it led back to so I had to cut and splice. This was actually one of my first problems fixed on my truck and first couple posts on this site.
