Hey guys, i got the code P0327 while cruising on the highway earlier tonight, and the code came up to be a Knock sensor in Bank #1 generating low voltage.

Does anyone have experience with this code?

I didn't really notice the symptoms of lagged acceleration or anything..the car felt normal, but then again, i didn't own this car long so i don't have anything to compare with.

your input is appreciated!
 
You could go to the manual, engine control section, and look up this code, there should be a detailed diagnostic and troubleshooting procedure.

Its common to finish knock sensors cracked or broken. I've seen this happen many times. Older VQ have them mounted in the valley of the V under the intake manifold. I don't know if the 3.5 is the same. I would physical inspect the sensor and possibly the harness.

Knock sensors when triggered retards ign timing and in most make ur car a little slower. Might be hard to noticed sometimes.

+1. Replacing the sensor usually fixes the problem. Under the intake as TurTLeG has noted.
