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
P0330 - Knock Sensor 2 Circuit Malfunction (Bank 2) 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 P0330 code may show up intermittently or the Service Engine light may be lit constantly. Other knock sensor related DTC codes include P0325.
Symptoms: You may notice drivability problems including a lack of power and perhaps some hesitation. There may also be other symptoms.
Causes: A code P0330 most likely means one or more of the following has happened: The "B" knock sensor is faulty and needs to be replaced There is a wiring short/fault in the knock sensor circuit
Possible Solutions: Check the resistance of the knock sensor on bank 2 (compare it to factory specs) Check for broken/frayed wires leading to the sensor Replace the knock sensor on bank 2
Air/Fuel Sensors are mounted upstream of the catalytic converter. They are located on the exhaust manifold side of the catalytic converter (pre-converter - Sensors 1). Oxygen Sensors are mounted downstream of the catalytic converter (post-converter - Sensors 2). The catalytic converter has two chambers (left and right). Bank1 is left, drivers side. Bank2 is right, passengers side. The Bank2 Sensor1 sensor (Air/Fuel Sensor) is the one located on the 'right and ahead' of the converter. The PowerTrain Control Module (PCM) is reporting that the heater or circuit ( wiring / plug-in) of the sensor is malfunctioning.

Check the resistance of the knock sensor (compare it to factory specs)
The knock sensor is faulty and needs to be replaced.
Check for broken/frayed wires leading to the sensor.
There is a wiring short/fault in the knock sensor circuit
Check timing
