Sure, here is the knock sensor location which is on the left side of the engine block about where the engine mounts are. Check out the images (below). Let us know if you need anything else.

I checked the area on the image and it's not there. The only thing that I see are the injectors. I have the same manual and it's not the location stated. I touched around the to see if it's not visible and it's not there.

Also, on the picture it shows number 2 (the Oxygen Sensor) as being on the left side but it's actually on the right side on top of the exhaust.

The knock sensor will be under the intake manifold. Are you getting a knock sensor code?

I've uploaded some images under the intake manifold. The knock sensor code I'm getting is 52.

There is a sensor that is hose clamped to a tube, which looks like the knock sensor.
