SPEH)SENSOR

Speed Sensor Testing

Test the speed sensor with an ohmmeter. Place the ohmmeter leads on the terminals in the sensor connec­tor (Fig. 40).

Rotate the transmission output shaft and observe the ohmmeter needle. The needle should deflect indicating the switch is opening/closing as the rotor moves past the sensor (Fig. 40). Replace the sensor if the ohmmeter does not display any kind of reading.

If a digital ohmmeter is being used, the sensor should generate an ohmmeter readout each time the switch opens and closes.
