Default p0332 rear knock sensor code

I get the rear knock sensor code (p0332h) on my 99'. When it happening, the car continues to run normally without any noticable indication of a problem. I have reset the code several times and now plan to take the car in for service.
Anyone had this problem? If so, how was it resolved?

Thanks

:(

Condition
Some customers may comment on a mild to severe engine ping (commonly referred to as spark knock), usually worse during acceleration and/or an illuminated MIL. Upon investigation, the technician may find DTC P0332 set.

Cause
This condition may be the result of corrosion of the rear bank knock sensor due to water intrusion into the sensor cavity. This condition is more apparent on vehicles in which customers frequently wash the engine compartment.

Correction
Replace the rear bank knock sensor and build a dam (wall) around the sensor using RTV to divert water away from the sensor
