Knock sensor is an indication you are having a mis-fire with your spark plugs if one fires and another misses causes the engine to knock 3 possible issues.
Spark plugs
Older vehicle may need gas treatment
Worst case valve or cylinder seal issue
Try the first issues dont change knock sensor it maybe doing its job
The last solution you shouldnt need to do unless you are getting black smoke from exhaust or engine is knocking realy bad
SOURCE: hold lite and and a p1624 code on a 2001 sportage
Code number p1624 is MIL Request Signal from TCM to ECM. which means malfunction indication light(MIL) is requesting a signal from your engine control module(ECM) or Transmission control module(TCM) i would reccomend u take it to the dealership to get it checked out.
