P229f code. Replace knock sensor, the code returns. Should there be a learning in process for the sensor?

No learning process. A common cause for that code is a fault in the actual harness. Usually from a corroded connector. Does the engine make noise while running? THis can trigger a false code fromt he knock sensor. Can you please shoot a quick video with your phone so we can hear the noise? that would be great. You can upload it here with your response.
