Good afternoon,
I attached the location of the sensor for you.
Why are you replacing the sensor? Do you have a code?

Knock Sensor
The knock sensor is fitted to the cylinder block to detect engine knocking. This sensor contains a piezoelectric element which generates a voltage when it becomes deformed, which occurs when the cylinder block vibrates due to knocking. If engine knocking occurs, ignition timing is retarded to suppress it.
