First off TAKE OFF THE CAPS LOCK! Replace the sensor and see if the light comes back on. Is your car knocking at all or no? Cause if it is you have a worse problem. How many miles are on the car? High mileage it just may be the sensor. Get more info so I can help ya out.....

it sounds like timing might be retarding due to the knock sensor malfunctioning. Replace it, reset the ECU and see what happens.
