Abstract:
Methods and systems are provided for rationalizing an engine knock sensor. In one example, a method may include, responsive to an indication of an engine knock event, correlating an output of the engine knock sensor with an output of an on-board microphone to determine degradation of the engine knock sensor. By rationalizing the engine knock sensor against another on-board sensor (e.g., the on-board microphone), diagnostic fidelity may be increased.

Claim (Index 15):
The method of  claim 14 , further comprising:\n indicating the condition of the knock sensor to be degraded in response to the dominant frequency of the determined frequency components of the knock sensor output not matching the dominant frequency of the determined frequency components of the microphone output; and not adjusting the spark timing in response to a subsequently detected knock event.
