Can confirm. I've had the CEL on a few times for knock after EcuTek tuning, and set up my bluetooth interface to verify. Turns out, the knock sensor reads my flywheel engagement when I shift as knock, particularly when I'm forced to do frequent gear changes in stop and go traffic on I95. A little reading showed other people have had this issue in the past.
