Hello,
There are two knock sensors on this vehicle.
One is located on the passenger side of the engine, above the CV axle. The other one is located on the back of the engine below the cylinder head.
You will have to lift the vehicle to access them.

The other sensor is located above the alternator, you might need to remove it to access the knock sensor.
