This code 52 is killing me. 90% of my frustration is my fault as I had transposed the the two codes...joys of learning disabilities. Ugh.
Now that I’m done whining, I’m objectively at a loss here. Here’s what I’ve done:
- spliced in a new male pigtail as the OEM connector was missing and RTV was used as a bonding agent
- tested knock sensor ohms, passed
- scraped the RTV out of the knock sensor
- stuffed sensor cavity with dielectric grease
- plugged everything back together
- 2 separate drives around town and no code
- drove on the freeway this morning, code 52 is back
RTV in sensor
RTV on female / missing OEM clip
Splicing, pre solder
