A bad sensor, or connection at the sensor. They are known for getting water erosion.

Engine knock will not set a knock sensor code. It is either a sensor, wiring, or connector problem if a code sets.

Yea. Seems like it should set a engine code when it does have knock. Thats GM

check your connections and the wiring going to them, could have just come undone.
