knock sensor codes
i was wondering you can delete the knock sensor codes just like the 02 sensor codes, l im throwin a knock sensor code, but i need to take emmissions and instead of pulling the car apart i thought it owuld be easier for now just to delete it so i can pass emissions and replace it while its hibernating for the winter
thanks in advance

yes knock codes can be deleted... but if you ever go WOT on your car I would not advise this...
if a knock sensor code is being set then there is a problem...

rear bank is unusual.. normallly it's a P0327 code .. the front bank gets flooded from natural causes ....
regardless... a knock code will toss you into the low octane tables AND pull timing ... so performance will DIE ...
what code is it setting ? P0xxx ?

P0332 is the code
File In Section: 06 - Engine/Propulsion System
Bulletin No.: 02-06-04-023A
Date: June, 2002
TECHNICAL
Subject:
Audible Spark Knock (Detonation), MIL Illuminated, DTC P0332 Set (Replace Rear Bank Knock Sensor and RTV Area Around Sensor)
Models:
1998-2002 Chevrolet Camaro, Corvette
1998-2002 Pontiac Firebird
with 5.7L Engine (VIN G - RPO LS1)
1999-2002 Chevrolet Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe
2002 Chevrolet Avalance
1999-2002 GMC Sierra, Yukon, Yukon XL

(VINs V, T, Z, N, U - RPOS LR4, LM7, L59, L09, L04)
This bulletin is being revised to add Cadillac Escalade and Cadillac Escalade EXT to the Models. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 02-06-04-023 (Section 6 - Engine/Propulsion System).
Condition
Some customers may comment on a mild to severe engine ping (commonly referred to as spark knock), usually worse during acceleration and/or an illuminated MIL. Upon investigation, the technician may find DTC P0332 set.
Cause
This condition may be the result of corrosion of the rear bank knock sensor due to water intrusion into the sensor cavity. This condition is more apparent on vehicles in which customers frequently wash the engine compartment.
Correction
Replace the rear bank knock sensor and build a dam (wall) around the sensor using RTV to divert water away from the sensor. Use the procedure and part number listed.
thats the bulletin i got off of all data
