A tune up is usually a good place to start with this code. The P0324 code is Knock Sensor related. This usually comes on when you either have a failing sensor, or a knock. The knock is usually caused from too low of Octane fuel being used. If this is the case or you just filled up before the problem occurred you might want to try a different fueling station and a higher octane as a test. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-chevy-code-p0324-knock-sensor-performance\">Chevy Code P0324 Knock Sensor Performance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The ECM detects that the knock sensor signal&#8217;s performance is out of normal expected range due to an excessive engine knock, or abnormal noise, or a flat signal; in at least on cycle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Knock Sensor Location Diagram<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"939\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freeautomechanic.com\/mechanic\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/2012-chevy-cruze-knock-sensor-location-diagram-939x1024.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-61289\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freeautomechanic.com\/mechanic\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/2012-chevy-cruze-knock-sensor-location-diagram-939x1024.gif 939w, https:\/\/www.freeautomechanic.com\/mechanic\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/2012-chevy-cruze-knock-sensor-location-diagram-275x300.gif 275w, https:\/\/www.freeautomechanic.com\/mechanic\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/2012-chevy-cruze-knock-sensor-location-diagram-768x837.gif 768w, https:\/\/www.freeautomechanic.com\/mechanic\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/2012-chevy-cruze-knock-sensor-location-diagram-1409x1536.gif 1409w, https:\/\/www.freeautomechanic.com\/mechanic\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/2012-chevy-cruze-knock-sensor-location-diagram-1879x2048.gif 1879w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 939px) 100vw, 939px\" \/><figcaption>2012 Chevy Cruze Knock Sensor Location <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-replace-knock-sensor\">How to Replace Knock Sensor<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"698\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freeautomechanic.com\/mechanic\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/2012-chevy-cruze-replace-knock-sensor-1024x698.gif\" alt=\"2012-chevy-cruze-replace-knock-sensor\" class=\"wp-image-61291\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freeautomechanic.com\/mechanic\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/2012-chevy-cruze-replace-knock-sensor-1024x698.gif 1024w, https:\/\/www.freeautomechanic.com\/mechanic\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/2012-chevy-cruze-replace-knock-sensor-300x204.gif 300w, https:\/\/www.freeautomechanic.com\/mechanic\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/2012-chevy-cruze-replace-knock-sensor-768x523.gif 768w, https:\/\/www.freeautomechanic.com\/mechanic\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/2012-chevy-cruze-replace-knock-sensor-1536x1046.gif 1536w, https:\/\/www.freeautomechanic.com\/mechanic\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/2012-chevy-cruze-replace-knock-sensor-2048x1395.gif 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When starting car, runs rough for a few seconds and sometimes throws a PO324 or PO300 code.
