Knock sensor..

So I am running a CEL and it reads that it is the Knock Sensor. Does anyone have any knowledge they could share with me about this? Price? Location? Is it under the intake manifold?

Maybe it has been chewed up by a rodent like mine was.....dealer cost to repair was over 300 if my memory serves me right.

^^ isn't the knock sensor there to monitor engine knocks?

if thats correct then how are you sure there isnt a problem? how do you know just replacing it will fix?

So reading the PDF, it doesn't seem TOO bad. I've never really took apart anything on a car before, is there anything I should be aware of while changing my knock sensor wire?

Thats just what it said on the Modis Snap-On tool at the shop. I am not sure but there isnt a spark knock or anything else like that.
