Default no voltage from knock sensor harness

Causes? What to check? Also with my scanner it shows no activity from the knock sensor.

Update. After finding no voltage going into the knock sensor harness I tapped into a 5 volt source. However the codes still come up for low input. Then today I installed a new knock sensor harness, the one under the intake. Checked the voltage and then went for a drive. Sure enough the codes came up again. I need a wiring diagram for a ls1. All the schematics I get here and online don't show me where all the wiring goes to and comes from. I know there are two knock sensors two signal wires. Also one power wire and one single wire coming from the pcm. Where does the second signal wire go to? I am all confused.

I've got that page already. It doesn't show what I need. Thanks though.

What I want to know is where does the knock sensors get there power from? The plug going from the pcm there is a blue wire, signal wire and 1 grey wire, power source. On the pcm side there are just the 2 blue signal wires. Where do these all tap into?

They are 1 wire resonant sensors.
"power" comes from the PCM through those wires.
