To check it you will need a 'Select Monitor' I think the port is under the driver side dash or you can check here www.JollyGreenMonster.com - Engine management specialist on the help page on how to check for error codes.
It doesn't come on because it needs a service it comes on becasue it's registered a fault.

the knock sensor picks up detination/knock and sends a signal to the ecu to pull timing out if you are a running poor grade fuel etc.....
it is located under the inlet manifold, its a black round sensor with 2 wires comming from it and has a bolt through the middle of it.

I have just replaced mine on my 95 classic and it was not too bad to fit, a little fidderly when putting the bolt back in, I got mine off ebay for £22 quid and once in I reset the ecu and now the car runs a dream

If the knock sensor is detecting knock surely thats a fault to investigate ? its not saying youre sensor is faulty and to replace it , its doing a job in telling you theres det/knock detected !

The reason the cel is on is because it is sending info to the ecu and that info is out of range hence the cel.
