The knock sensor is located on the back of the block just above the oil filter, and it requires a 27mm deep socket or wrench to remove it. As far as checking it I don't know. I have the same code and a buddy had a known good knock sensor laying around and gave it to me. I'm waiting for my next oil change to replace it because it looks like it will be a whole lot easier to change with the oil filter off. I believe to buy one they are over $100 so you have the right idea to test it first.
