What does Honda P1324 code mean?
The knock sensor is mounted on the cylinder block and detects engine knocking. The vibrations caused by knocking are converted into electrical signals through the piezoelectric ceramic element. The Engine Control Module (ECM) controls the ignition timing based on the electrical signals. If the signal from the knock sensor does not vary for a defined period of time, the ECM detects a malfunction and sets the P1324 code.
