You are testing the sensor wrong, if checking with multimeter, do not leave it on auto sense, but manually select the 20Kohms scale then test it.
For working check a hammer on the sensor wont work itself, (you will destroy the sensor if you hammer it) - the hammer test is done by mounting it in a piece of metal and then using a hammer on that metal bar or the vise holding the bar/plate etc.
OR
you can attach a scope or logic analyser to it, start the engine and pull the fuel pump fuse/wire as the engine runs, when it runs out of fuel - it will show knock activity as it dies due to lean condition.
