Default PowerFC knock indicator/way to test knock sensor?

has anybody ever seen the knock reading say anything except 0? i have a 2000 civic si w/ turbo, it has a knock sensor but I'm thinking either a) it doesn't work or b) the powerfc just doesn't read it..

The FC will read the knock sensor.

That is unless you have the PowerFC for the B16B...I was told that it didn't support a knock sensor input...

I always had some sort of reading on the knock sensor...no real problems unless it went over a certain number(can't remember what, as it's been a while).

60 I think, then it will flash the CEL at you.

yeah mines for the b16b.. i've seen the cel once at the track in 4th gear at 8300rpm, i was pretty sure it was from injector duration so i raised the fuel pressure and dropped the injector # a bit and i haven't seen it since

(hey thanks for bringing this topic back to the top, i completely forgot about it)
