P06B7 - OBD Trouble Code

<<See All OBD Codes

OBD error code P06B7 is an OBD-II generic code. Thought its generic, the steps to resolve it might vary a bit depending upon the specific make and model. Your vehicle will flash this OBD error code P06B7 when the powertrain control module inspects some performance issues with the internal processor of the knock sensor circuit 2. To know more about this error code, go through our subsequent sections.

As we all know that knock sensors are placed directly into the engine block and it is a piezoelectric sensor. Whereas the internal control monitoring processors are the ones responsible for the overall internal control module accountability. Now, coming back to the topic of our discussion OBD code P06B7 will be set by your vehicle’s PCM when it detects some internal issues with the knock sensor processor. Have a look at all the causes which result in the occurrence of this error code.

If you want to easily diagnose this fault code, then all you have to do is to follow the steps which are mentioned below:

Diagnosing this error code P06B7 can be a real challenge for even the trained mechanics. Considering that it also involves the reprogramming issues you will need the reprogramming equipment’s or else you won’t be able to repair this problem successfully. Now, before you attempt to diagnose and correct this error code P06B7, you will have to make sure that you rectify and fix all the ECM/PCM power supply codes that already exists. Before you make sure of this controller defective, you can attempt various preliminary tests via using a diagnostic scanner, a digital volt/ohmmeter and a reliable vehicle information.

After this you will need to connect the scanner to the diagnostic port of your vehicle and retrieve the stored codes. Clear the codes and conduct a test drive. If the code is reset, continue with this short list of preliminary tests. While diagnosing this error code P06B7, information and prior knowledge will be your greatest tool. Try to find the suitable technical support bulletin and If you find the right TSB, it may yield diagnostic information that will help you greatly. Now use this information to get connector face views, connector pinout charts, component locators, wiring diagrams, and diagnostic flow charts related to the code and vehicle in question.

You will also need to check the controller power supply and in order to do so you will need the DVOM. If you come across any fuses or relays that are blown out, make sure to replace them (check the fuses when the circuit is loaded). In case all the relays and fuses are operating as desired, conduct a visual inspection of the related wires and harnesses. Also check the chassis and engine ground junctions. Use the TSB to ascertain the ground locations and check the ground integrity through DVOM. Check and visually inspect the system controller for any signs of heat or damage. If you come across any controller that is bad, you can consider it as defective.

If controller power and ground circuits are unblemished, you can suspect a damaged controller or a controller programming blunder. You will need to undergo reprogramming for the controller replacement. Different vehicles/controllers will require on-board reconstructing that may just be done through a dealership or other qualified source.

Also make sure that unlike other codes, P06B7 code is likely caused by a faulty controller or a controller programming error. Also, check the system ground integrity by connecting the negative test lead of the DVOM to ground and the positive test lead to battery voltage.

Common Mistakes When Diagnosing the P06B7 Code

Common mistake that you are likely to commit while diagnosing this error code P06B7 is that of ignoring the following failures:

• Powertrain Control Module (PCM) failure
• Wiring issue
