16711/P0327 - Knock Sensor 1 (G61): Signal Too Low

Possible Symptoms
Irregular rpm
Drivability problems
Loss of power
Engine damage
Possible Causes
Circuit G61 short to Ground
Circuit G61 open
G61 improperly torqued
G61 damaged
Control Module damaged
Possible Solutions
Torque Knock Sensor 1 (G61) to specifications.
Check wiring and connections
Check Knock Sensor 1 (G61) and Knock Control
Special Notes
This feature search for unusual (spontaneous) combustion. The sensor detects unusual vibrations and based on that it generates a voltage. Is this voltage outside a certain limit a dtc will be set.

Might be worth swapping the wires over briefly to see if the fault follows it... if it does it likely to be the wiring, if it doesn't then the knock sensor prob needs replacing...

I had a signal too high fault on mine and just rewired it to the ECU...

Im near the NEC Birmingham!!!
As tufftybloke found, its a knock sensor fault! i have replaced both knocksensors and torqued to 20NM
Signal to low, throwing my car into limp mode! im no good with wiring!!
Cars runs nice but little boost due to limp mode! i have a code reader and have cleared fault but just comes straight back!!! not had the car long, about a week! and not had it running right yet. spent a fortune already on it!!
