Nope, the knock sensors only goal in life is to inform the engines control module to adjust the spark timing to optimize engine performance and fuel economy. the "knock" is caused by predetination which is caused by spark timing to far advanced or crappy quality fuel. check the fluid in tranny it may need to be flushed and the fluid replaced what kind of car is it?

What would couse a knock sensor code on a 1996 mercury villager 3.0?
Knock sensor codes on this vehicle are meaningless, the knock sensor does nothing unless the engine knocks. If you have this code there is more than likely a problem in one of the other emission-related devices, which often triggers this code first. My advice is to ignore it until another code pops up giving you more information about where to look. Do not replace the knock sensor, it will be expensive and will not stop the code from reappearing.
