This summary uses the existing diagnostic information shown in full below.
This code means there's a problem with a sensor in the car that listens for knocking sounds in the engine. It's like if you had a microphone that was turned up too loud and couldn't hear properly.
The Knock Sensor 6 is detecting a higher voltage than expected, indicating a possible issue with the sensor or its circuit.
The P1337 code is triggered when the Engine Control Module (ECM) detects a voltage signal from Knock Sensor 6 that is higher than the specified range. This could be due to a short circuit, a faulty sensor, or a wiring issue.
• Check Engine Light is on
• Poor engine performance
• Engine knocking noises
• Faulty knock sensor
• Short circuit in the sensor wiring
• Poor electrical connection
Knock Sensor: A device that detects engine knocking or pinging.
ECM: Engine Control Module, the computer that controls the engine.
• Use an OBD-II scanner to confirm the code.
• Inspect the wiring and connections to Knock Sensor 6.
• Test the sensor's voltage output.
• Replace the knock sensor.
• Repair or replace damaged wiring.
• Ensure all connections are secure.
• OBD-II scanner
• Multimeter
• Socket set
$150 - $300
Moderate
• Honda Accord
• Toyota Camry
• Ford F-150
• Regularly inspect sensor wiring.
• Perform routine engine maintenance.
• Use high-quality fuel.
Sensor Issue
• Avoid driving aggressively until the issue is resolved.
• Have the vehicle inspected by a professional mechanic.
Check your vehicle's warranty for coverage on sensor-related repairs.
This code has been reported in vehicles with high mileage or those that have experienced harsh driving conditions.
Moderate – Address the issue soon to avoid potential engine damage.
Driving with a faulty knock sensor can lead to increased emissions and potential engine damage.
• Engine at operating temperature
• Vehicle at idle
The knock sensor is typically located on the engine block, cylinder head, or intake manifold.
Q: Can I drive with a P1337 code?
A: It's not recommended to drive for long periods with this code, as it can lead to engine damage.
Q: How do I reset the check engine light after fixing the issue?
A: Use an OBD-II scanner to clear the code after the repair is completed.
