Review the 'Possible Causes' mentioned above and visually examine the corresponding wiring harness and connectors. Ensure to check for any damaged components and inspect the connector pins for signs of being broken, bent, pushed out, or corroded.
The P0325 code means that the Knock Sensor is not working properly. Replacing the knock sensor usually takes care of the problem.
You maybe also consider replacing the knock sensor short harness to avoid future problems.
If you have a V6 Toyota Highlander, it is recommended you replace both knock sensors and short harness to avoid re-doing the labor since it is alot of work, since it is located under the intake manifold.
To diagnose the P0325 2007 Toyota Highlander code, it typically requires 1.0 hour of labor. The specific diagnosis time and labor rates at auto repair shops can differ based on factors such as the location, make and model of the vehicle, and even the engine type. It is common for most auto repair shops to charge between $75 and $150 per hour.
When an excessively low or high voltage from the sensor is sent to Engine Control Module (ECM)
The Knock Sensor (KS) senses engine knocking (also known as detonation or pinging) using a piezoelectric element. The sensor is attached to the cylinder block, cylinder head or intake manifold. A knocking vibration from the cylinder block is sensed as vibrational pressure. This pressure is converted into a voltage signal and sent to the Engine Control Module (ECM). The ECM uses this signal to retard the ignition timing and protect the engine from this damaging pre-ignition.
