Consumer Description

MY VEHICLE'S "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT CONTINUES TO LIGHT UP EVEN AFTER HAVING THE CODE ERASED. MANY OTHER OWNERS OF CHEVROLET SUBURBANS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. OBD CODE P0332 STATES THE KNOCK SENSOR HAS LOW VOLTAGE. THE PROBLEM MANY PEOPLE HAVE IS WHEN WATER OR MOISTURE GETS INTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WATER BEGINS TO POOL OVER THE SENSOR AND SEEP INTO THE SENSORS. THE LACKING OF WATER SEAL IN THIS POOLING AREA DAMAGES THE SENSORS. THE VEHICLE THUS CANNOT PASS IT'S BI-YEARLY SMOG TEST AND ALSO CREATES A FALSE SENSE OF VEHICLE RELIABILITY. IF OTHER ISSUES COME UP OTHER THAN THE BAD SENSORS THE DRIVER WOULD NEVER KNOW. *TR
