Hey guys, I've been using the forums for a while now to help get my ca up and running properly and this is the first time I've had to post. The only thing I have left to deal with is a code 34: knock sensor. I went to look for the white wire for the knock sensor on the harness (pin 23) and there is no wire. There isn't even a terminal in the harness plug to mate with the ecu pin as if there isn't supposed to be a wire there. This is the same for pin 33 directly below it which is supposed to have a green wire running to it. The knock sensor itself has the correct plug with a gray wire that runs into the lower harness that goes towards the fuse box. I have the right ecu and harness but why wouldn't there be a wire for the knock sensor? How would I be able to connect a wire to pin 23? I'm not sure where to go from here, and any help would be greatly appreciated!

If it's a true CA harness, then it should have the wire in question. Are you sure you're not looking at the harness plug from the wrong side? If you are sure and your wire is indeed missing (very strange), you could borrow a pin from an old KA harness or any nissan harness carrying the blue connector.
