Default knock sensor help please!!!

this is one of 2 of the only problems i have so far (other being ABS light)
this is the code it throws, sometimes its constantly on, every once and awhile it will flash for a little then go back to constant... then sometimes it will even shutoff then later when i start the truck back up it will be back on???? im sure it can be a number of things but i wanna get like a list of the things it can be and start checkin em off one by one. i already took the manifold back off and made sure the knock sensors were plugged in, and that they were plugged into the harness properly. any help would be appreciated guys. TIA

Module: 10
DTC: P0332
Type: DTC
DTC Description: Knock Sensor (KS) 2 Circuit Low Frequency

I don't know if its any help, but I got a code a few weeks ago for the same thing (I think mine said "KM circuit, low voltage). I bought some KMs and the harness off ebay, was getting ready to put them in, and the code went away . People said that would happen if they got a little wet, which i guess is what happened. I scan it every now and then, and the code is gone???

I still have the modules and harness (5.3L but I don't think theres a difference between models) if you want them. Let me know.

How long has this code been popping up?

I'm willing to bet that you crushed the knock sensor wires under an intake runner. White1 and DLH2006 both had that issue, it's very easy to knock that harness under there when installing the intake manifold

that foam just kinda seals up the cavity, but the problem they had was the wire actually was between the manifold and the head, like crossing the path of the runner, just pulled the intake manifold and a quick splice of the wires and it was working perfectly fine.

Cool. Well allow me to post my comments and compliments. That's a very sanitery looking setup, the whole truck as well as the engine. I'm gonna start monkeying around with my truck in the comming months. Nice work, a real sleeper fer sure..........
