Anyone ever had to replace a knock sensor on there 02 srx? I just hooked mine back up and the coolant light flashes 6 times then starts over. Telling me it's the knock sensor.
 

Check the wiring to the DCS sensor especially around the connector. I have found the DCS sensor wire to be quite inflexable and succeptable to breaking.
 
yeah I put electric tape around where the wire comes out of the sensor. But it still blinks. I will wrap some around the ends.
 
If you are already aware of an issue with the wiring, cut the section out that is damaged, solder in a new section on the sensor side of the wiring [don't use cheap crimps] and see if you still have the same issue. If the sensor still is acting up replace it.

I also had that same exact issue 2 years ago with same 6 flash sequence. It was intermittent and was a broken dcs wire for me as well. It broke right near the center cylinder.
