370Z Knock Sensor Issue

Has anyone encountered a knock sensor issue with their 2011 Nissan 370Z gasoline engine vehicle? At 208112 km, the malfunction indicator lamp illuminated, and diagnostics indicated a defective knock sensor. The vehicle now exhibits higher fuel consumption and uneven idling. Investigation suggests a potential defect in the cable or plug connection.

I have a 370Z and had similar symptoms a while back – check engine light, rough idle, and my gas mileage went down the drain. I was pulling my hair out trying to figure it out. It was driving me crazy! What did the diagnostics say exactly? Any specific error codes?

The diagnostic report indicated a fault in the knock sensor circuit. The specific error code was P0328. The preliminary assessment suggests a likely cause being a defective cable or plug connection to the sensor. I am interested to know if your issue was identical.

Yep, that sounds exactly like what I had. I messed around with it for a bit, checking connections, but honestly, I'm no mechanic. Ended up taking it to a workshop, and they sorted it out pretty quickly. Best bet is to get it checked out professionally.

I appreciate you confirming the similarity of our issues. I have taken your advice and had the vehicle inspected at a reputable workshop. The issue was indeed a defective knock sensor connection. The repair cost 95€. Thank you for your assistance.
