Mileage138,114Service Date5/13/2024Services Performed- Code Scan: Engine – Permanent Codes P0700
- A/T System Malfunction P0325
- Knock Sensor (1) No Signal Transmission – Permanent Codes P0873
- 4th Pressure Switch Circuit High The KS code is commanding the MIL at this time. Tested Knock Senor circuit and found open to sensor. Inspect under intake manifold with borescope and found wire chewed off at connector, likely by rodent. Lower intake manifold needs to come off to repair/replace KS harness. Due to labor required, would also replace the sensor itself to prevent having to do the job again down the road should the sensor fail. At this time the 4th gear switch is okay, but would advise to replace at this time due to common failure and restively low cost of replacement.
