What will happen if your knock sensor wire are not being connected and your error code p0325 keeps coming back after you reset the code?My truck is nissan pathfinder 1998 xe model.

P0325 Knock Sensor 1 Circuit Malfunction
A knock sensor tells the engine computer when one or more of your engine's cylinders are "knocking", that is, exploding the air/fuel mixture in a way that delivers less power and can be damaging to the engine if prolonged.
The computer uses this information to tune the engine so that it doesn't knock. If your knock sensor wasn't operating properly, so that it was always indicating a knock, the engine computer's response may have been to change the ignition timing on your engine. Knock sensors generally bolt into or thread into the engine block. This P0325 code may show up intermittently or the Service Engine light may be lit constantly. Other knock sensor related DTC codes include P0330.
Symptoms You may notice drivability problems including a lack of power and perhaps some hesitation. There may also be other symptoms.
Causes A code P0325 most likely means one or more of the following has happened:

• The knock sensor is faulty and needs to be replaced
• There is a wiring short/fault in the knock sensor circuit

Code 325 is for a knock sensor failure.
The sensor looks for spark knock and if that happens the engine computer slows down spark timing.
The problem could be the sensor, the wiring, or something other than spark knock the sensor is finding. A bad valve or rod knock can mirror the spark knock traits.

TPS sensor (RPM) po120,knock sensor po325.

That is a knock sensor code. It is in the valley below the intake. Rodents like to eat the wires to it, look for that. The sensor can fail, too.

P0325, P0330 are both knock sensor codes that are detected by your ECU. Considering that you are showing both codes indicates that your model trim level is either "Limited" or "Renegade" that will have a knock sensor for 2 banks (V6). Knock sensor errors will change the timing of your engine ignition and can lead to a drop in performance or worse, lead to engine stalling in order to save other components of your engine.
The common solution to remove knock sensor codes is to have the sensors replaced by an authorized mechanic; sometimes shorted electrical leads to the sensors are also a cause for the codes. Replacing the knock sensors will remove the prompting of P0325, P0330 and expect to find another fault as engine stalling is not always present with knock sensor error codes.
Hope this helps.

Causes: A code P0325 most likely means one or more of the following has happened:
* The knock sensor is faulty and needs to be replaced
* There is a wiring short/fault in the knock sensor circuit

Possible Solutions
* Check the resistance of the knock sensor (compare it to factory specs)
* Check for broken/frayed wires leading to the sensor
* Replace the knock sensor


Test it and tell us news.

Hi the error code relates to the PCM Knock Sensor Circuit

It does sound like the sensor may be bad, but you also need to check the wiring.

p0304 misfire on cylinder #4
p0325 knock sensor circuit

Could be a bad wire, plug, or coil pack on cylinder #4 (or bad distributor connection).

Knock sensor indicates a knock coming from the engine, perhaps from cylinder #4.

This may lead to a diagnosis if you change parts related to cylinder #4.

Good luck.

A P0325 refers to the knock sensor electrical circuit, not the sensor itself! So check all wiring & connectors leading to the sensor, back to the PCM. Good luck, I found a good P0325 article here - http://www.obd-codes.com/p0325
