2017 knock sensor help!

I'm so very frustrated and you guys are my only hope. I need to replace my knock sensor wiring harness for my 2017 Tacoma and I can not find anything on it. Dealer wants $2000 plus to repair it but I have always done my own repairs. I can not for the life of me find any videos or literature on it. No repair manuals, nothing. Threads are out there talking about one swimming around that you can download but nothing. I need your help!!

 

What happened and why isn’t it covered under warranty? Are you over 36k miles?

 

Rodents?

 

I drive a lot for work. I already have 66,000 miles on it. Sucks..

 

Sorry to hear that! I have no input, hope it works out for you. If your wires got chewed by rodents I don’t think warranty would’ve done anything anyways.

 

No rodent issue. But I always get service manuals for my trucks. This is the 3 Tacoma I have owned. 1999, 2013 and now this.

 

For $2000 there must be more going on than two wires. Is your whole Loom damaged?

81shark!! Thank you so much! Its downloading as we speak.

 

Toyota dealer said it was a 30 hour job.. I called BS on that. It's not hard to do, I just need specs. Lol

 

Can you at least let us know what the issue is?

 

not sure about the 3.5, but i think on the 4.0 it was down in the intake vally between the heads. 30 might be excessive, but it's not "easy" in the sense that you only pull a wire and replace a plug. even on the 2.7 it is buried under the intake manifold.

side note, i had a knock code a few months back, coupled with a random misfire. cleared them both and nothing came back. sometimes it can be just a hickup. good luck on your adventure.

 

P0328 OBD-II Trouble Code: Knock Sensor 1 Circuit High Input (Bank 1 or Single Sensor).

I can almost guarantee it's the harness.

 

D**n, threads like these make me rethink the extended warranty, good luck OP.

 

Seriously!

 

Really sucks, I'm an amateur wrencher myself and try to do most things myself, but something like this and the fact you can get the platinum warranty with zero deductible for $1100 or so for 6yr/125k seems almost a no brainer.

Good luck, let us know how it goes.

 

I’m getting a 6 year/100k for $1095. It’ll be a loss I don’t mind taking if nothing goes wrong! Better to have it than to wish I did.

 

Yep I got my 6 yr / 125k for $1150 on my last truck, was on the fence with this one, but threads like these make me rethink that.

 

I will take lots of pictures a d post it just in case someone goes through the same thing!

 

Nice man!
