Code result

P032D

Knock/Combustion Vibration Sensor C Circuit High

High severity

What it means

Knock sensor C signal above upper plausibility — open signal or short to B+. Wiring faults of this kind typically come from chafing, water ingress at connector seals, or pin push-back — a wiggle test on the harness while the code is active often confirms the location.

Is it safe to drive?

No — stop driving

This code points to a problem that can cause damage or affect safety. Avoid driving and have the vehicle diagnosed promptly.

Most likely causes

  • Open signal line

    high

    One of the most commonly reported causes for this code — check this first.

  • Gateway module routing CAN messages incorrectly

    low

    Less common, but worth ruling out after the more likely causes.

  • CAN terminating resistor (120 Ω) drifted out of spec

    low

    Less common, but worth ruling out after the more likely causes.
