Mazda DTC P0328 Diagnostic

DTC P0328

 

KS circuit high input

 

DETECTION CONDITION

• The PCM monitors the input signal from the KS when the engine is running. If the input voltage at PCM terminals between 2Q and 2R is above 4.9 V, the PCM determines that KS circuit has a malfunction.

Diagnostic support note

• This is a continuous monitor (CCM).

• MIL illuminates if the PCM detects the above malfunction conditions during first drive cycle.

• PENDING CODE is available if the PCM detects the above malfunction condition.

• FREEZE FRAME DATA is available.

• The DTC is stored in the PCM memory.
POSSIBLE CAUSE

• KS malfunction

• Connector or terminal malfunction

• Short to power supply in wiring harness between KS terminal A and PCM terminal 2Q

• Short to power supply in wiring harness between KS terminal B and PCM terminal 2R
