this is straight from the book
"The knock control system adjusts ignition timing to minimize knock."
FYI... Knock is also know as detonation.

The knock sensor on our cars is bolted onto the side of the engine. It's right above the oil filter.

Does the VAFCII come out with some warning light or correction in a/f ratio when it detects a knock ? Is there a wire from the VAFCII that is suppose to go to the knock sensor ?

No. Knock sensor is only to adjust ignition timing when you put lower or higher octane fuel in.
