Default just put on my ls6 intake and got knock sensor code?

i did my ls6 intake swap today and all went good, everything went fine. i drove it to the gas station and came back out and my SES light was on i thought no big deal it is just the EGR, so i go to autozone to get it scanned to make sure and there was the 2 knock sensor codes and the rest were EGR? what is up with that? did i forgot to plug something back in or what?
any help would be greatly appreciated thanks

Sounds like you pinched the knock sensor wires.I did this when I installed mine.Just pull the intake back off (sucks I know but it goes much faster the 2nd time)find where you pinched the wires, tape up exposed parts of wires and move them over a little bit more to the side I believe. And put your intake back on make sure it sits flush.And if you removed your egr system you will have to remove the codes through tuning

You'll need to reset the computer to get the code removed.

Another thing is make sure you removed the clips under the manifold holding the knock censor wires.If not the manifold can pinch the wires.

Don't just tape the wires, get a solder gun and solder them together and then use heat shrink around them to make them weather proof again.
