Knock sensor can cause those symptoms.

Check wiring to knock sensor for continuity

Not knock sensor. Check knock sensor wiring and connections
Re: Your Motor Guru Is Here! Ask Your Questions... by Cotonou12: 8:11am On Aug 28, 2021
Good morning bros

I checked all those thing a before changing the knock sensor

Even the TVS I changed yesterday didn’t match with the vehicle so my mechanic said we will bring like 5 pieces of the tvs and be testing before we can get the correct match for my car

Is it the I4 or V6?

The first code is very , very likely a consequence of the second code.

The second code means you have a faulty oxygen sensor

replace O2 sensor when a good OEM and you should be fine.

Both are feathers of the same bird grin

If you want a sporty look to your car, take the Sport.
If you want conservative, Take the LE

Honda civic just throw a check engine light and it was scanned and the scanner said knock sensor malfuntiond what should I do, is it something to worry about

Your gear changes may not be smooth.
secondly the knock sensor is very important to avoid preignition, Particularly with the kind of fuel we buy in Nigeria today
