Knock sensor won't trip the CEL. Check codes for code 34. Here are the instructions http://vbxmaxima.8m.com/ecu.html.

It didn't say anything else? Like something that would cause the CEL. From everything I've heard the KS won't trigger the CEL and I know it didn't set mine off. Don't know why it would make yours go on.
