One of the 22re guys will have to help you with the location - I have the V6. But the code does not diagnose a short or open circuit in the sensor, it diagnoses a short or open circuit in the sensor circuit. It could be the sensor, but often the problem is the connection to the sensor. Knock sensors in particular are a rare failure point, but it's not uncommon for connectors to get corroded. However, if the connector is okay, it is possible the sensor could be bad.

Pretty sure the knock sensor is that big ugly thing just to the left of the oil filter. Easiest way to access it is by going throught the wheel well.
I got some what of a manual at the shop I work at. It's a computer program call mitchel. It will tell you step by step on how take anything on a car apart, wiring diagrams, and how to test or diasnosis problems and etc. Just sometimes it won't show me a picture on the location of certin things and says dealer service only. That's why I posted this up to see if anyone can help me find which sensor on the engine is the knock sensor. I got it down to 4 places that it could be. Anyways thank again for your guys help

My mistake, I think the knock sensor is the big one below the oil filter.
