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 3):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein correlating the output of the knock sensor with the output of the microphone to determine degradation of the knock sensor comprises:\n generating a frequency response of the knock sensor from output obtained over the knock event; generating a frequency response of the microphone from output obtained over the knock event; and determining if a dominant frequency of the knock sensor frequency response matches a dominant frequency of the microphone frequency response.
