P0333
Knock Sensor 2 Circuit High Input (Bank 2)
DTC P0333, sometimes indicated as P033300 is an OBD diagnostic trouble code indicating a generic fault with the vehicle powertrain (i.e. engine and gearbox). This code identifies an error with the ignition system causing knock sensor 2 circuit high input (bank 2).
The knock sensor is a device that monitors the engine for detonation. If it detects detonation, it sends a signal to the engine control unit (ECU) to adjust the ignition timing. The DTC code P0333 is set when the knock sensor 2 circuit is high.
There are a few things that can cause this code to set. One is a bad knock sensor. Another is a short or open in the circuit. The last possibility is a bad ECU.
If the code is caused by a bad knock sensor, the sensor will need to be replaced. If the code is caused by a short or open in the circuit, the wiring will need to be repaired. If the code is caused by a bad ECU, the ECU will need to be replaced.

2016 HONDA PILOT
Emission problem system keeps lighting up, going to service with Honda 3x times but engine light keeps popping up, replaced knock sensor failure at first, then still pop up, they figured out now it’s 2 bank failure, need to replace engine harness and knock sensors sub harness, P0328, P0333. It will cause acceleration problem

2014 TOYOTA TACOMA with 8201.0 miles
Rodents ate wiring harness in engine compartment, while driving in the city, the trac and check engine light cane on. I returned home and retrieved error code P0333 on my reader. I took vehicle to doxon Toyota for service / repair. They confirmed code and said that rodents had chewed knock sensor wire harness. I was told that tis was not covered by warranty even though the vehicle was less than two years and less than 9000 miles of use. I consider that making electrical components out of material that is attractive and tasty to rodents a traction and air-bag safety concern, i.E. Soybean based wire insulation. I have been operating motor vehicles since 1963 and have never had this happen to ant vehicle i have owned.

2005 TOYOTA TACOMA with 12098.0 miles
Took our 2005 Toyota truck into the Toyota dealer for a check engine light P0333. They said that it was a cable that was previously replaced by another Toyota dealer due to rodent damage. Since the car only has 2000 miles since that repair and a total mileage of 12,000 miles we found it unbelievable that they would quote us a "discounted" rate of 2,318.00 to repair the cable again. We told them that we did not want to spend this much money on a car that only had 12,000 miles.The car got repaired at a fraction of the cost they wanted and it turned out that they had not tightened down the intake manifold and unplugged a sensor on startup. Their cost to repair with a supposed 8 hour discount was 2318.00. The eventual cost from a normal mechanic was 374.00. It should have been less but the extra time to correct their errors cost more money. On the internet there are many owners of this same type of vehicle complaining about this type of damage being caused by rodents eating into critical wiring. Wiring that cannot be repaired without the Toyota dealer charging 3000.00 plus for labor. This is a scam. It would be easy for the Toyota engineers to fix this cable so that it could never be eaten by anything again. Also my mechanic and others have asked "why do they eat this cable and no others in the same area"? They are obviously making the wire coating out of materials that attract the rodents to it. This is a cash cow repair for them and they are not about to make it so that the rodents do not eat it. A normal mechanic charges 374.00 to repair this problem versus 3000.00 for the dealer! This is professional robbery through design and should be investigated from a federal stand point. I have all of the paperwork and the cable that is in pristine condition except for the eaten away end if your department would like to examine it.
