Cadillac Repair: 1995 Cadillac STS, cadillac sts, knock sensor


Question
I have a few questions about my new purchase.  I ran the error codes to see how things are and this is what I got.  P131 current.  S020, S021, S023 & S044 History.  I cannot find anywhere a listing of what all the codes mean.  

Second, I have a horrible clunk in the passenger side rear.  I have had the shocks checked, they are working fine.  The tire is very secure no wiggle in any direction when lifted.  I am at a loss.  Any advice?  Otherwise with 132k this car still acts like new, and after a tune up, runs exceptionally.  Still looks unbelievable too.  One more problem.  I have replaced all the bulbs on the rear right side.  The front is fine and I still get a fast blink.  The one thing I noted is that the two inside lights only use the dim part of the bulb and never the bright.  Only the outside light blinks bright and brakes bright.  Any suggestions?  Sorry so many questions.

I hope you can help.

Answer
P131 is a faulty knock sensor.

As for the CLUNK noise, I would have to personally hear it.

As to the right rear lights problem, You have a faulty ground  wire.
