Hi,

There is only one knock sensor on the vehicle that functions for both banks. If you have a specific code that was found, I can look further into it for you.

As far as the sensor, if this is supercharged, the supercharger and insulator will need to be removed. If there is no supercharger, the intake will need to be removed the sensor is located under the intake. See pic 1

The remaining pics are the directions for the removal and replacement. Take a look through them and let me know if you have questions.

Let me know if this helps,

Take care,

joe

See pics below. Make sure it is torqued to the manufacturer's specifications. See pic 4
