Your battery has nothing to do with these codes. Your vehicles computers have detected a malfunction or failure in the system. This triggers these codes and sets your check engine light. Below I have listed the code meanings and some repair solutions.

P1126 - Throttle Position (Narrow Range) Sensor Circuit Malfunction.

Power supply for the throttle control motor is provided to the ECM via throttle control motor relay. The throttle control motor relay is ON/OFF controlled by the ECM. When the ignition switch is turned ON, the ECM sends an ON signal to throttle control motor relay and battery voltage is provided to the ECM. When the ignition switch is turned OFF, the ECM sends an OFF signal to throttle control motor relay and battery voltage is not provided to the ECM.

Possible Causes For P1126:
- Harness or connectors (Throttle control motor relay circuit is open)
- Throttle control motor relay


P0325 - Knock Sensor Circuit Malfunction

The knock sensor is attached to the cylinder block. It senses engine knocking using a piezoelectric element. A knocking vibration from the cylinder block is sensed as vibrational pressure. This pressure is converted into a voltage signal and sent to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) or Electronic Control Module (ECM).

Possible Causes For P0325:
- Knock sensor circuit short to ground.
- Knock sensor circuit short to power.
- Knock sensor circuit open.
- Damaged knock sensor.
- Damaged PCM or ECM

Possible Solutions:
- Repair or resecure harness or connector
- Replace knock sensor Bank 1 (Bank 1 if applicable)
- Replace PCM or ECM

The P0325 DTC is a very common problem with Nissan vehicles. On most Nissan vehicles the knock sensor is located on top of the engine block.

I have Nissan Altima 2001 running 93500 K. since last a week service engine soon light on and showing P0141 & 0325 codes. What is the fix for P0141 and P0325 error codes.

p0325 = bank 1 sensor 2 oxygen sensor p0141 = knock sensor
if it were me you could watch the sensor on a scanner to see if working properly but without a scanner i'd replace the oxygen sensor bank 1 = passenger side
sensor 2 is sensor behind the catalictic converter screwed in

Check engine light came on tested with obd 2 reader code p0325 came up indicating knock sensor 1 circuit malfunction ! easy fix?

IF you can find the sensor (and can get to it) it is just an unplug, unscrew (use correct wrench) and then install new one and plug it back in. You will have to get the computer reset after that or the light will come back on
