Knock sensors?

Do 1997 civics have a knock sensor??
What exactly does a knock sensor do?

Someone was asking me about it but I am unsure.

well an "official" description of what a knock sensor does:

Quote:

A sensor mounted on the engine that is designed to detect the high-frequency vibrations caused by detonation. By employing a knock sensor, a computerized engine-control system allows an engine to operate very near its detonation limit--thereby improving power and efficiency

I imagine 97 models do have one ,what exact model is it??
