I'm not 100% sure but the if the knock sensor detects the knock/detonation the the ecu adjusts as not to cause engine damage. It may be abel to be cleaned to fix but not sure,I'm sure someone more in the know will advise you,or have a search on the forum for knock sensor problems. Sorry I couldn't be more specific

If the light stays off then I wouldn't worry if the car is running ok now. Did you also do the ecu reset to clear the error code? I have had maf error in the past and after cleaning the sensor,doing a reset all was fine for 5 years I had it
Things like bad batch of fuel can cause strange probems
