I got a 01 Trans-am and the stock pcv hose assembly did what everyone's did and fell apart. around the same time it threw the code P0332 (knock sensor low voltage). i fixed the front part of the hose the code came back, so when i went to install new knock sensors and harness i noticed the same hose in the back just behind the intake was completely separated. Could this cause a P0332 to be thrown? I know the leak will slightly lower the oil pressure.

I can't see any relationship between the pcv hose and the knock sensors. I would just assume that the knock sensor code means the knock sensor is in trouble.

well my thinking was that big of a leak letting too much air in the intake more air in would possibly cause knock maybe.

I see what you're saying. Why not replace the pcv hose and see what happens? It's about 68 bucks plus shipping at gmpartsdirect.com.

That's what I'm gunna do, but gunna make my own out of some 3/8" fuel line. Just wanted to see if anyone knew if that could throw that code. Thanks.

Let me know what you find out, I'm curious.

If you were getting knock I don't think you would get a low voltage KS code, you'd just have timing pulled. The KS code is thrown when the KS is malfunctioning, not when it's working correctly. Also, when a KS is malfunctioning you'll have a constant 4* of timing retard.

Im getting this code now. Is bank 2 the rear knock sensor?
