Knock sensors as a rule of thumb are positioned right beside a piston on the the block. It should be on the opposite side of the exhaust system. A knock sensor is actually a sensitive microphone or listening device. It listens to a piston performance under load. If it hears a knocking or pinging sound it will ****** the ignition timing and advance it again when condition changes. It would have a securing bolt in the middle which torqued to a certain spec and a single wire harness.

Under intake manifold on top of block,you need to remove intake to access sensors there are two of them you can't miss them when intake is off. After replacing sensors you need a new intake gasket.

2002 chevy silverado hd2500 6.0 ecm code po332 low voltage knock sensor 2 bank 2 does this mean knock sensor is deffective causing ecm to throw this code and if so should both sensor be replace and which...

If all connections are good "dry, tight, no corrosion" then yes. It should be a defective sensor. These sensors are piezo sensors and create a voltage when sensing a knock. A bank refers to a side on a V style engine, 2 refers to the rear sensor on your bank 2. Bank 1 should be the side with cylinder #1 which should be the cylinder closest to you on one of the sides. So your looking for the rear sensor on the opposite side.
