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 20):
The system of  claim 18 , wherein adjusting the timing of the spark provided by the spark plug during a subsequent detection of knock by the knock sensor based on the determined condition includes retarding the spark timing in response to the subsequent detection of knock when the determined condition is the rational condition and not retarding the spark timing in response to the subsequent detection of knock when the determined condition is the degraded condition.
