Possible but unlikely. Code p0330 refers to knock sensor(KS) 2 bank 2-circuit malfunction==causes --wiring --KS--ECM. Replace the KS. The engine light is telling you that there is a problem with sensors in the ECM and that is what will be affecting the performance . Shifting is the area of the TCM( transmission control module ) so have that checked out as well
SOURCE: knock sensor
knock sensors are underneath the lower intake. replace the knock sensor harness as well
SOURCE: Car won't shift into overdrive
I own a 2002 lexus is300. I noticed that my car will not shift into overdrive. My rpm stay up around 3000 on the highway. How can i fix this problem??
what was the first code present. that one code will chain react the rest .clear them let them come back on and they will then compare the order
The knock
sensor is commonly located on the engine block and essentially listens
for improper combustion when the engine is running. Engine knock, or
spark knock, is the noise created when the combustion process is erratic
or abnormal. Code p0330 indicates that the knock sensor has picked up a
frequency outside of the factory-set frequency range for the combustion
chamber. The computer uses information from the knock sensor to adjust
the engine ignition timing to keep combustion within the safe zone of
operation. In general, when the knock sensor code is set, the computer
will put the engine into limp mode to help prevent engine damage.

P0325 OBD-II Trouble Code
Technical Description: Knock Sensor Circuit Malfunction
What does that mean?A knock sensor tells the engine computer when one or more of your engine's cylinders are "knocking", that is, exploding the air/fuel mixture in a way that delivers less power and can be damaging to the engine if prolonged. The computer uses this information to tune the engine so that it doesn't knock. If your knock sensor wasn't operating properly, so that it was always indicating a knock, the engine computer's response may have been to change the ignition timing on your engine. Knock sensors generally bolt into or thread into the engine block. This P0325 code may show up intermittently or the Service Engine light may be lit constantly. Other knock sensor related DTC codes include P0330.
Hope this helps.
