Sorry in advance if I post it in the wrong spot but I need help with my swap.
After rebuilding the top end of the engine and put it all back together and taking it for a ride down the street back-and-forth I keep getting a knock sensor code. I have not tuned the car yet I just want to make sure everything is 100% good before I take it to the tuner
And another lil problem is battery light starts dimming light to bright lil by lil 🤷🏽‍♂️

And yes this is my first Kswap ever 😑

I don't see a knock sensor code in the logs.

In regards to the battery light, double check connections to the alternator are ok. Check the belt as well. If all this is fine then your alternator might be going bad. I see that the voltage is dropping in the log.

The knock sensor code is on the ( cruising..kdl files ) about 40sec in
and ok I will get a alternator coming.

I will take a look at it again when I get a chance.

I see the code now. Check if the connector to the knock sensor is loose. Check the wiring as well.

Is it normal for the knock sensor voltage to drop to 0 while driving?
